Description
I just came across this project, tried it and the second I click play on a video the firefox tab bumps up to 11GB, my swap space was literally 95% filled up. When sitting idle it's a reasonable 500MB
I just want to know - is this ok? I have never came across a webpage that uses this much ram

OS: Linux arch 6.16.4-zen1-1-zen
Firefox version: 142.0.1 (64-bit)

Research direction
Start by reproducing video playback in Firefox on Linux using the reported environment, and compare memory usage while idle and while playing a video. Identify whether playback consistently causes the reported RAM and swap spike; the issue is addressed when the cause is understood and the excessive memory growth is prevented or documented with supporting evidence.
