I think I've found a potential culprit using about:processes

https://openai.com 110% CPU

(That's GPT4)

Firefox at this time is running around 1GB memory

The super high CPU for openai is certainly a whole bunch of javascript. I closed that tab and the CPU load dropped to normal. Reloading the openai website and CPU oscillated between 1% and 20% till it settled around 1%

I have also been monitoring global memory use. The last entry below is after I closed the openai tab

This does not explain the OOM problem, but it seems memory is slowly being consumed at a rate where in 24 hours I'll start seeing problems again.
