Environment:
Operating System: Windows 10 PRO x64
Operating System: Ubuntu 20.4 LTS x6
Firefox version: Firefox Nightly 110.0a1 (2022-12-16) (64-bit)

Preconditions:
ETP set to STRICT
Clean profile

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Navigate to: https://chaturbate.com/
  2. Open multiple streaming videos.
  3. Set all videos to a minimum of 1080p quality.
  4. Wait 5-10 minutes.
  5. Observe the result.

Expected Behavior:
No performance issues are observed.

Actual Behavior:
Increase in memory usage.

Notes:

  • Not reproducible with ETP set to STANDARD.
  • Reproducible in PRIVATE Mode as well.
  • Screenshot attached.

I've recorded some performance profiles:

Strict - https://share.firefox.dev/3V2rEvY
Standard - https://share.firefox.dev/3BFQvyS

Note: I waited less than 5 min before recording the performance.

For the record: Watching 1080p+ and multiple streams is great for making the problem obvious quickly, but it's not required to trigger it in the first place. A single 720p stream leaks at about ~25MiB/minute.

The performance regression is triggered by blocking the bam.nr-data.net. It seems the page will leak memory if the script of this domain is blocked.

Severity: -- → S3
