Interestingly, this website reliably crashes my firefox on linux while consuming 55GB of memory. Claude's TLDR of what's causing the problem (may or may not be accurate): "That animation loop is almost certainly leaking memory: each time-step it draws new border geometry (GeoJSON/vector shapes) but doesn't free the old frames, so RAM climbs without bound. When you interact — especially auto-playing the timeline — the tab grows until it swallows all 62 GB of RAM + swap and the kernel kills it."

I can confirm, my firefox on linux crashes immediately as well. Curiously, the website works just fine in chrome on android. Blink monopoly strikes again, I guess.

  No issues here on Linux, using Firefox 140.12.0esr under Slackware and Plasma 6.7.2 / Wayland

    I have 152.0 installed from flatpack on Fedora Kinoite 43 (Plasma 6.6.3 / Wayland) Maybe it's a firefox bug that was introduced somewhere after 140? idk

      or perhaps, some Plasma bug was fixed in Plasma 6.7x. Who knows... EDIT: Now I see you installed it via flatpak. That is also a source of endless inconsistencies and instabilities. So you should maybe try the native fedora rpm.

        This is so called "Atomic" (rpm-ostree based) Fedora, so flatpak is the native way to install applications

        Yeah, I thought that. Too bad, you just hit one of the (very few) disadvantages of immutable systems.

This page crashed my browser too. Opened the comments to see this, guess it's not a me issue.

No issues on FF on Linux here. No crashes or memory leaks as far as I can see.

Same for me (FF 152, Fedora Linux). Fired a bug report, just in case: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2054268 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2054268
