Greetings. I have Windows 10 Home and have used Firefox for my primary browser for many years. I recently noted that by opening Firefox and looking at my task manager it shows 14 processes running. This causes my memory usage to jump significantly from the 50's into the 70's. The performance on searches,etc. seems okay. I recently added Browser Guard and was wondering if that was the reason for the jump in memory usage. As a side note I ran an update on Onedrive and now I have a white circle with a check mark on the desktop shortcut that I use for Firefox ... Thanks to all for any assistance regarding these questions ....

Semaphore.social is a mastodon/fediverse web client. I've been using it without issue up to now and it has not updated recently.

After a few hours running the CPU usage of Firefox becomes very high (25-50%) and the about:performance shows that it is due to this tab, which shows at values from 110 to 160% or thereabouts.

I haven't noticed this before updating to Firefox 134.0 so I suspect it may be a Firefox regression.

However I cannot work out what the cause is, how to fix it, or if I should file a bug on it.

Any ideas on how I can fix this?
