I am 99% certain this is caused by disabling Hardware Acceleration on Firefox.
To recreate: 1/ On Firefox, Under Settings/Performance, un-tick "Use recommended performance settings" and un-tick "Use hardware acceleration when available". 2/ Restart Firefox 3/ Browse the web, watch gnome-shell MEM% rise in htop. Even if tabs are closed, memory isn't freed. 4/ Close Firefox - gnome-shell MEM% returns to normal. Firefox version is 137.0.2. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2107504 Title: gnome-shell memory leak, oom-killed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/2107504/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
