I'm like Terry -- all my computers are on 24/7/365+. Usually I just hop off to bed or town or wherever I need to go, and I leave my apps and tabs and browsers and all up and running, faithfully waiting on me to come back to them. This has lead to some rather interesting playtimes for various games over the years (42 days and 19 hours for a game with a 6-8 hour playtime....). I'm not an user of Firefox anymore (last I tried, it was incredibly resource intrusive whenever trying to play any video from the web), so I swapped over to Vivaldi (https://vivaldi.com), which seems a LOT more customizable and a little less resource intensive than most of the other browsers I've used like Edge, Chrome, ect. I've never noticed this "memory creep over time" like Terry's talking about, which makes me think the issue is FireFox-specific, and I have no idea *why* it'd act up with our site when we're self-hosting and advertisement free and such.
Honestly, this sounds to me like it's an expected behavior for Firefox (from https://www.getdroidtips.com/firefox-usi...uch-memory)
From the "Sometimes when Firefox is running for a long time, it might take a lot of space in the RAM.", it just sounds to me like this is something they're aware of and that it's common behavior in various cases. There's a ton of information in the link above. Anyone having memory issues with FF might want to take a look at it and see if anything in there applies to help with their particular problem.

Quote:How to fix Firefox using too much memory?
If increasing the RAM on your system is not an option for you, software solutions are all you can try. Let’s take a look at all the possible options that you have.
Restart Firefox browser:
Sometimes when Firefox is running for a long time, it might take a lot of space in the RAM. So to clear that memory out, try closing your Firefox browser and then opening it up again. Now you should be able to use Firefox without it taking up much space in your memory.
