I had firefox use 22gb of ram (mostly swap, as I don't really have 22gb of physical ram) a few days ago (had an image of it but unfortunately my host is currently down). I had around 50 tabs open but one specific memory leaking one was the offender. Browsers should really add checks for memory leaking pages.

There is a dedicated team at Mozilla currently who only work on identifying memory leaks and usage. There's a mailing list too if you want to help or check in with the discussions. [1]: https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-memory https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-memory
