Plugin Container for Firefox taking up to 1.5GB RAM without any plugins installed
I haven't installed a single plugin but the Plugin Container for Firefox is taking huge amount of system resources, up to 1.5GB RAM and 40% CPU usage.
I am using 3rd gen i5 with 256GB SSD and 8GB RAM and Firefox version v49.0.1
Even while typing this, it is taking about 500MB RAM.
