I am running Firefox ver. 131. The program constantly increases the amount of memory it uses. Task manager shows 14 processes running under Firefox, it also shows a green leaf Efficiency icon next to it. I am using an HP Victus laptop with a Ryzen 5 cpu and 8 Gb of ram. The program will continue to use more memory until it locks up the system and I have to use Task Manager to restart . I don't know how to solve this. It is a new development which may be associated with the 131 update. Please help.
