I was using Firefox and suddenly there was something wrong with it: I

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.
FWIW I don't see that happening using Firefox 116.0.2 with Arch Linux
6.4.10 also on a x86-64 laptop.
Having 8 firefox tabs open free reports a total used memory of 2.5GB.
ps -ef reports 34 firefox processes.
How do you see that firefox uses al that memory ?
