Memory leak and micro stutters tabs with playlists

[vBardys]

When I open a lengthy playlist ( https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa5rLV8WvIPFvdncJTSh9ipowFjUtwc9o ) with the addon enabled I will get micro stutters, prompts with '[addon name] is slowing down Firefox. To speed up your browser, stop that extension.' where [addon name] keeps changing between different installed addons but mostly shows 'Youtube anti translate'.

Disabling this addon and restarting firefox makes browsing playlists work again.

Until I fully restart firefox or press 'Stop' in the above slowing down prompt RAM consumption for firefox will keep going up until all is used.

Firefox 128.0.3 (64-bit)

Hi, I think this bug is a duplicate of #28.

[artisticfox8]

Please try release 1.5.14.1 to confirm the problem is fixed.

To try it:

1. On that page, click Source code (zip)
2. Uncompress the zip file, the app folder is what you need => put it in some folder you'll easily find
3. In Firefox, go to about:debugging and choose This Firefox
4. Click Load temporary addon
5. Select manifest.json from that app folder you saved.
6. The extension is installed, you can open YouTube and test playlists

If it doesn't cause this issue anymore, I will release it

Hey,

Seems to work fine with the 1.5.14.1 loaded as temporary addon.

Will keep testing for a couple of days and let you know here.

Still fine although I did not have it running all the time due to restarts of the browser and having to reload it back into temp extensions.
