Has anyone else noticed increased memory usage with Firefox lately, perhaps on 117? (lemmy.world)

For the past few weeks I’ve seen Firefox use up more memory in MacOS Activity monitor with less tabs. I really don’t feel like troubleshooting it though.

Is it causing performance issues? I believe Firefox tends to cache a lot of stuff in memory if there's unused memory lying around to give itself a speed boost. You can configure it in about:memory

Can you reproduce this in troubleshoot mode or with a new profile?
