 1. Open Tor Browser and GNOME System Monitor.
 2. Go to https://pomf.space/
 3. Open the Inspector `Ctrl+Shift+C`
 4. On my system the CPU usage hits up 99%, and after some time (+30min)
 memory usage of firefox reaches 700Mb and of Web Content reaches 700Mb as
 well.

 Could this be a memory leak?
