Firefox frequently freezes/crashes with very high memory usage
Several times a day Firefox freezes and begins using a lot of memory (90-99%). After a while either the open tab or the browser will crash. I have tried troubleshooting mode, an account refresh and a fresh install of Firefox, but the crashes still occured after/during all of these fixes. I've tested my RAM and there were no errors detected. This problem has been occuring for a month or so, but seems to be getting more frequent. I've included the report IDs of the most recent crash reports.

Thanks in advance if anyone has any suggestions!

Update HitmanPro.Alert. If the problem continues, disable it.
Basically, an OOM (Out Of Memory) means the system is having issues with the RAM.

MemTest LAST UPDATED : 12/04/2020
Could you please run a tool from http://memtest.org/
in order to check the integrity of your RAM?
You will need a thumb or disk drive to install it on.
Do you let Windows handle the page file or did you set a fixed size ?
Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Performance -> Settings
If you use a fixed size for the page file then try the former and let Windows handle the page file. How to determine the appropriate page file size for 64-bit versions of Windows {web link}
