Firefox needs over 100 GB of memory and always crashes
Firefox has been crashing constantly for a few days now. Every time I start the program, it starts using more and more GB of RAM until it crashes at over 100 GB. I have already deleted and reinstalled the program and cannot explain why it is using so much memory. Can anyone help me?

You can get more details by visiting about:processes in the address bar (Shift+Esc).
Thanks, here it just shows me on the first level that Firefox (21480) uses a lot of GB, but neither the tabs nor the utilities or extensions are noticeable.
Do you have a lot of Firefox windows open?
Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?
How much free space is there on the hard drive since I see these values in the System Details ?

If you have submitted crash reports, please post the IDs of one or more recent crash reports that start with "bp-".
- bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
You can find the report ID of recent crash reports on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page.
- click the "All crash Reports" button on this page to open the about:crashes page and see all crash reports.
Alternately, you can open about:crashes via the location/address bar.

@cor-el
Many thanks for your inputs.
There are still 73 GB left on the hard drive.
Here you go with some recent crash report numbers: bp-c226ddbd-8ea2-4705-9a27-445ea0240312 bp-01eda940-4c25-480a-a503-29b160240312
Thank you for your help!
Does it still happen in a new profile? An easy way to test a new profile is to install Developer Edition and see if it happens there or refresh your existing profile. Make sure you stay signed out of your sync account when testing.
@zeroknight Many thanks! It does not happen in Developer Edition.
Could be a problem with storage or the quota manager.
You can check for issues with Storage (indexedDB).
You can create a new profile as a quick test to see if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
If the new profile works, you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
