Firefox 98.0.1 (64bit) using more than 8GB of memory and freezes internet
Firefox is becoming more and more buggy and more unstable using more than 8Gb of ram in either the apps processes or if not there then in the background processes and when you look into the firefox task manager it reports it is using no more than maybe 100 MB of ram the only way to stop it is to close the one process that is using all the memory. when i investigate using the about:memory function it tries to tell me that it is an extension using the memory but if i disable the 2 extensions i use and reload the measure memory it still is using exactly the same amount of memory. is there any sort of fix for this because i am getting sick of having to have the windows task manager open to close the rogue process every time i use my browser

I have been grappling with the same issue for several months and now find only a few sites are responsible. The article linked below may help.

Trouble with what you suggested is what i have already tried, also i have found it is totally random which websites cause the issue sometimes i can just have a single tab open watching a video and other times i can have 20 tabs open and no issue. As i run 32gigs of ram Firefox using 8 to 9 shouldn't be an issue but when the problem occurs it freezes my internet and nothing loads even Firefoxes own troubleshooting tools will not load and nothing i can locate even points me in the right direction. Firefox seems to have been having the same issue or a similar one since version 77 you would think that it would have been fixed by now.
I keep the following open in a tab all the time and use the buttons to do collections and minimize memory use. I sometimes have to use the last more than once. about:memory?verbose
My problem is this everything you have suggested has been done or tried to no avail, coming here and posting the question has been a last resort because i have tried everything that has been suggested so far and a lot more as well. An interesting point now is that since i have posted this question the problem hasn't reoccurred up to this point when it was happening every time i used Firefox which is multiple times a day, i wonder why that might be?

I have good days also. Others report random issues. It's a baffling problem.
