Research direction
Reproduce the issue by enabling Left Side Menu → Sticky Navigation in Firefox, then opening YouTube Home or Subscriptions and checking whether loading stalls or memory grows. Compare the behavior with the feature disabled and verify whether the problem is specific to Firefox or its forks. Done means those pages finish loading without continued memory growth while sticky navigation remains usable.
