They don’t recognize it officially but people talk about all the time. It seems it’s because Firefox doesn’t have a tab freezing feature built in for inactive tabs so websites might have JavaScript errors that can cause this. There is literally a post on Firefox subreddit from 2 days ago with people talking about it. A friend of mine also recently finally caved and switched from Firefox to opera because his ram gradually got used more and more the longer he had Firefox open.
Good luck with this argument. This instance of firefox was there 3,000 years ago. I use it for work. When its up it gets to maybe twice that. A gig when videos are on tabs.
All I can say is what my experience was and what the experience of people I know was. I don’t know what else to tell you other than that and that there are other people noticing similar things.

Thanks for sharing that, but it seems awfully thin on details, which makes it hard for anyone to take it seriously, even if it’s a legit issue.
