Bug 852938 – www-client/firefox-101.0.1 consumes all available memory

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Pavel Volkov 2022-06-18 17:51:31 UTC]

After I updated to this version, some websites trigger a massive memory leak, especially one online game. In a minute 16G are gone. In htop I see that the leaked memory is in VIRT (many gigs consumption), in RES there's only 130M.

Closing the problematic tab stops the leak.

Close entire browser doesn't free this memory (total cosnumption in htop stays the same).
Leaving the tab open leads to system freeze.

At first I thought that disabling hardware acceleration (layers.acceleration.disable=true) helped, but no.

Reproducible: Always

[Comment 2 Sam James 2022-06-18 17:52:21 UTC]

If you re-emerge Firefox, does it get any better?

(See bug 852299 for why that may work.)

[Comment 3 Pavel Volkov 2022-06-18 18:51:47 UTC]

Yeah, 852299's summary wasn't too descriptive, so I didn't look at it.
