Reproducible with Waterfox in safe mode?

Reproducible with a new profile?

No problem here with 56.2.8 on FreeBSD-CURRENT, https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=memory+usage&go=Search loaded reasonably quickly and memory usage is OK, not rising.

Vaguely connected remark/rant: Firefox (and therefore Waterfox) massively suffers from memory leaks for me as a user.

I have filed many bugs with them, as it is daily reproducible for me in my 40 Tabs environment with a "never close before it has 6GB RAM and is really slow"-policy with the addons I have. However they have no clue how to research this and are usually priorizing these cases down (I am not the only creator). They only find, I have so many ghostwindows, which seem to eat both memory and CPU in form of garbage collection.

I am allmost sure, it has to do with certain JavaScript/Ajax stuff and essentially Google/Twitter sites. When I tested, before moving to Waterfox, Waterfox always fared better than corresponding Firefox, unfortunately only slightly.

I agree it has a very bad memory leak issue. On my Linux laptop, I normally just put the laptop to sleep instead of a shutdown. After a couple of weeks I notice it is performing very badly. I look at the memory usage and see Waterfox is the culprit of using nearly all 16GB of RAM on the system.

related this? Waterfox doesn't apply this,so some sites may cause leak.

I get a similar issue, where my memory usage climbs up slowly over time. My browser gets very sluggish at around 1.5 GB (I have multiprocess disabled), so I set the Memory Restart addon to run a minimize command when it reaches that point. If I restart the browser with the same tabs, it takes up just 250ish MB. (I probably don't get the same amount of leak as you guys get, because I restart my browser 1-2 times a day. I think the highest I got was 3GB from having multiple Twitch tabs open.)
