I was using Firefox and suddenly there was something wrong with it: I can't switch the tabs. I found that Firefox has taken over 2GB of memory, while I've just opened three tabs (A circuit simulator, a local file, and a music website and none of it could take such memory)! I rebooted, but the problem is still there. It was okay at the beginning , but when I was trying to switch the tabs, the monitor showed that the memory suddenly grew from 269MB to 1.8GB. (versions: Mozilla Firefox 116.0.2, Latest Arch Linux 6.4.10 on x86-64 laptop) Omg, while I was writing this post I didn't close Firefox and now it takes 7.4GB of memory, and STILL GROWING!! Now 11.1GB Of course there's a memory leak. -- Ruiyang Peng
