For some reason about:processes doesn't seem to account for the RAM usage of the process and only shows several hundreds of megabytes.

Thanks for the report, but I'm not able to reproduce the issue. For me the test is performed but does not consume too much.

Tested with: Browser / Version: Firefox Nightly 105.0a1 (2022-08-10), Firefox Beta 104.0b8 Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04.2

@brlin-tw , could you try clearing cache/data/cookies, or use a clean profile, and check again? Also if there are any changes made to the default settings of the browser (e.g. in about:config) please revert to the default settings.
Could you upload a performance profile? Read more here https://profiler.firefox.com/ & https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/performance/reporting_a_performance_problem.html
