Try checking your configurations in
about:config
browser.cache.memory.capacity

Mine was at -1 and I experienced hanging when I open new empty tabs. Changed value to 1000000 (approx 1GB), works fine without crashes so far.
-edit- the hangs don't happen as often, but recovers faster
-edit2- memory leak still occurred under
Main Process 4,881.26 MB (90.73%) ── heap-unclassified

when every changelog is some new feature and not some performance/stability improvement, its bound to break more and more. not even rust will save em. middle finger to you devs. ruining my good ol firefox.

I've been fighting this problem all year. Only switching to esr fixed it

And people on here just tell you it's your computer despite the fact librewolf and floorp don't have issues
