A comment on I Switched to Firefox and Never Looked Back. Parent comment
Update your firefox now and the issue is gone.
It was basically the whole reason for the update.
Google changed their code to create a bunch of objects over time, and those objects didn't get cleaned up. It was just a standard memory leak issue.
Except it heavily impacted users who kept a youtube tab open or pinned.
The bug was reported and a fix released in a little under 2 weeks.
