[Firefox] HTML5 RAM usage with Youtube.

If I watch a youtube video that's over a certain length, usually longer videos over half an hour, eventually the memory usage on Firefox starts to become huge, I have 8 gigs of RAM and it alone will be using about 50% of my memory.

Restarting the browser clears it and this issue persists even on a fresh profile.

What version of FF?
Sample video?
What extensions?
Does the same happen in Safe Mode?
So ~50% of your 8 GB is ~ 4 GB of RAM that FF is using?

Didn't try as I figured the fresh profile stuff covered it as the only addons are NoScript and ABP
Yeah, around there.

Have you tried toggling hardware acceleration in FF?

No, I actually didn't think about that, thank you.
