Hi, sorry you haven't had a reply before, maybe because this might not be a Firefox issue. Does this ONLY happen when using Firefox - does it occur if you use a different browser?
If this is only a Firefox issue: You seem to have 3 versions of CFCA CryptoKit 3.0 for Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera - Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A) > Plugins, which isn't a plugin I recognize, and multiple versions may cause problems, so perhaps you should uninstall the old ones from your PC, or at least disable any others that you don't use in the FF Add-ons Manager.
If this is a Windows issue as it seems to be, I suggest you ask in a specialist forum such as https://www.tenforums.com/
In the screen shot, you'll see a statistic called Committed. In the windows 10 Task Manager, on the Details tab, you probably can add a column called Commit Size which shows applications that have reserved additional memory. On mine, Firefox typically has a much larger number in that column (on Windows 7, this is on the Processes tab, example attached).
I don't know if there is a way to shrink that number much -- other than, in my case, closing out of Facebook. This article may have some tips: Firefox uses too much memory or CPU resources - How to fix.
Since you have 64-bit Windows, you could consider using the 64-bit Firefox, assuming you do not need any legacy plugins (regular Firefox 53 64-bit only allows Flash; Extended Validation Release Firefox 52 64-bit only allows Flash and Silverlight).
I realized my screenshot was missing a column. it's probably clearer in the Resource Monitor (Windows 7 screenshot attached). Windows shows Firefox using more virtual memory ("committed") than physical memory. Virtual memory is the physical memory plus the "page file" used to swap out shareable regions of physical memory. That's all I know, time to run it past a Windows expert to see whether they spot anything abnormal.

Only FIrefox has this problem, so I raised the issue here. All CFCA related add-on is from Internet banking, anyway all CFCA plug-in is disabled now to see how.

thanks, I will use this method to monitor the memory.
