I wish I could see what extension is taking up what ram allocation but FF's task manager just have a listing for "extensions" and that was when I found out that after a long time it goes up to 1.3 GB from like a normal 300 MB. I think at the end of the day I'm gonna just need to play extension roulette and see if I can find which one it might be. But it literally takes 10 minutes to load FF on startup.

extensions can each have a performance impact that adds up, so it can be good to turn off any uncommonly used or redundant ones. like having multiple ad blockers installed doesn't block the ads twice as hard, it just means they each have to run on every page
