When watching videos on Disneyplus.com the memory for each episode gets stacked and never cleared when binge watching. After some episodes it blows up to multiple GBs and I have to restart firefox to get it down again.

When this issue happens can you go to about:memory and do measure and save report? make sure to check anonymize. Post it here/ some paste service. Also minimize memory usage can reduce RAM usage for that moment.

Did the report. https://pastefs.com/pid/267208 I watched 3 episodes of Simpsons and did the report during third episode. RAM of main firefox instance was around 1GB at that time.

Sorry, it's not the main instance/process, it's the instance/process for Web Content thats so big.

Webextension processes "Unused bytes in all runs of all bins for this size class" has max usage, not webcontent.

To check if this is website/ js issue, when this issue happens, press f12, select memory from top and click the little camera icon. It'll show current ram usage by js.

Are you sure? Because the PID of the overloaded process in Taskmanager is the same as the PID for Web Content in the memory report. I did what you wrote and the biggest part is array buffer under objects. Here are two screenshots, one before and one after saving memory usage. https://ibb.co/3WwdDtw https://ibb.co/fCX4j91 And another measure report, don't know if it helps https://pastefs.com/pid/267495
