Example: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lo ... escription
Just scroll down the page. RAM usage will keep increasing to the point of the browser becoming unusable. I know kickstarter.com is a problem website but it did mostly work, so it seems this may be a 33.6.0 issue. Possibly, can't say for sure.
Note that I've only tested this on the SSE2 builds.

Re: kickstarter.com - memory leak?
Confirmed on the AVX build as well, although it was only around a 500MB increase after scrolling to the bottom and up and down again. So it didn't become unusable, and when one stopped scrolling it went back down a bit again, but it did continue to increase more, the more one scrolled.

Re: kickstarter.com - memory leak?
Thanks for checking. Actually, I had the issue on another page but it requires you to be a backer to see it. The posted example was quickly picked out from their first page.
Perhaps it depends on the amount and nature of video/embedded content etc. but I clearly cannot use Kickstarter any more while I was able to, until recently.
edit: I will check with a previous Pale Moon version soon and post back.

Re: kickstarter.com - memory leak?
Tried a few older clean Pale Moon portable versions on another PC (mainline AVX, not SSE2). Issue still occurs, so perhaps Kickstarter tinkered with something here.
Oh well.
Oh well.

Re: kickstarter.com - memory leak?
Patiently playing with uBO, I managed to get it back to a somewhat working state. There are still alignment issues etc. Read on, it gets interesting...
Blocking single 3rd-party scripts wasn't helping, so I started with the nuclear:
...and then kept on "punching holes with noop rules", leading to something like this:
Embedded content still wouldn't play. It was now the turn of:
Boom! RAM went sky high and things started getting out of control. Coincidence? I doubt it.
Getting some help from uBO on Firefox for a few Cloudflare optimizations, my current working list is below. Some things can probably be removed (i.e. blocked again) but I don't have the patience now. Any extra info welcome, since my analysis and troubleshooting methods are pretty crude.
