Firefox tab RAM usage increases over time when repeatedly changing an image's "src"
Hi, Not sure if this is the right place but here goes:
Firefox keeps increasing it's tab RAM usage when I change the "src" property of an image programmatically for extended periods of time (1 hour or so).
I created a dummy project here: https://github.com/mvandermade/example-base64-image-memory-high-native
The code above swaps out the image "src" 20 times a second. However I seen buildups with lower frequencies but bigger images too...
Here some measurement of tab RAM usage:
Measurements Windows 10: Firefox 131 00.00h 37MB 01.15h 127MB 03.00h 228MB
Edge (latest) 00.00h 28MB 01.15h 30MB 03.00h 33MB
(Edge seems to have no memory buildup as much)
Here is a copy of the code if the repo ever goes down:
<html> <head> <script> function generateRandomBase64Image() { // Create a canvas element const canvas = document.createElement('canvas'); const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d'); // Set canvas dimensions canvas.width = 200; canvas.height = 200; if(ctx == null) return "" // Fill the canvas with a random color ctx.fillStyle = `#${Math.floor(Math.random() * 16777215).toString(16)}`; ctx.fillRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height); // Draw some random shapes for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) { ctx.fillStyle = `#${Math.floor(Math.random() * 16777215).toString(16)}`; ctx.beginPath(); ctx.arc( Math.random() * canvas.width, Math.random() * canvas.height, Math.random() * 50, 0, Math.PI * 2 ); ctx.fill(); } // Convert the canvas to a Base64 string return canvas.toDataURL('image/png'); } setInterval(() => { document.getElementById("swapper").src=generateRandomBase64Image() }, 50) </script> </head> <body> <img src="" id="swapper"/> </body> </html>
Just a observation from my side, if I can help improve things please let me know!
Greetings,

p.s. I also created a project in React which gives similar results: https://github.com/mvandermade/example-base64-image-memory-high
