I had trouble writing this post with 2 tabs open because of 3.3GB ram usage! I also have terrible lags because of this - browser hangs up every few seconds for few seconds. I have 8GB of ram so 3GB of usage from 1 open tab is crazy. So it looks like firefox has multiple tabs stored in ram and opening new tabs just rewrites that memory instead of allocating new one. However when I open 10-20 tabs again RAM usage does not rise (maybe slightly, like 5.3GB). It goes from 2.4GB (system only usage) to 5.0GB and does not drop after closing tabs. In firefox 78.0.1 after doing this (opening and then closing multiple tabs "to the right" using new context menu added in 78) my ram usage does not drop. My standard browsing habit consists of launching browser with 1 pinned tab and 1 home page (so 2 tabs only), then opening 5-10 tabs from my bookmarks, checking pages then closing them and leaving only 1 pinned page open. After updating from 77 (I think it was 77.0.2?) to 78.0.1 I started noticing terrible firefox performance after a few minutes of browsing.
