more options

Approximately 2 days ago, Firefox it's giving me problem with my RAM. The RAM in question is a 8GB DDR4. As you can see from the screenshots, Firefox consumes 50% of my RAM with only 1 tab opened. There is some wat to resolve this or I have to wait for an update? Or I have to upgrade my RAM to 16GB?
