I am using Bitwarden (cloud-hosted) with the Bitwarden browser extension in LibreWolf (Firefox-based).
Since the frontend redesign some time ago. I have noticed that the extension appears to consume a significant amount of RAM and has become noticeably slower, for example when auto-completing passwords.
When inspecting about:memory, I found that the Bitwarden is using approximately 2.2 GB of RAM:
2,193,526,688 B (82.75%) – top(moz-extension://304e98ed-de0b-4e33-8da8-fa78a86eb6ec/background.html)
Is this expected behavior with the current extension or is this a memory leak from recent updates?
Is there anything I can do as a user to mitigate this (e.g., configuration changes, clearing cache, disabling features) or is this something that needs to be addressed in the extension itself?
