Firefox 122.0 is using excessive memory

On my Mac Studio I'm using Firefox (but may have to use Safari) and it's using over 100GB of memory; so I have to force quit the browser. Is there a workaround so I can still use Firefox?

Etrecheck:

Consider downloading and running this little "discovery" utility, Etrecheck. it changes NOTHING.


it contains little tests for speeds of devices, CPU utilization, memory usage, energy usage and a digest of recent problems, in one easy to use package. it does not even need to be Installed.


if you follow the directions faithfully, its report (pre-laundered of all personally-identifiable information) can be "Shared" to the system ClipBoard, then Pasted into an Additional text window in a reply on the forums.
