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?

I tried that vbut it didn't help. Firefox still used 100+ GB on my Mac Studio. On my M2 mac book air, firefox 122 uses less that 1 GB. Both run Sonoma 14.3.1
