Still an issue with FF ESR 52.9.0 and 8GB of RAM on Ubuntu 18.04. Grows like cancer from a few hundred MB at startup to 2GB+, gets laggy above 1.5GB, gets unusable at 2GB. Not killing the entire system anymore, but I can tell memory usage from zippyness of loading pages and reaction time of especially JS-heavy sites.
