In firefox you can see which pages and addons use the memory on the about:processes page, shortcut is shift+esc.

What was the culprit?

Also this is a kind of joke/meme community on IT topics, questions like these should go to !techsupport@lemmy.world

Except if it's your gentoo box running on live rat brain, and your problem is why it uses 3 bytes more than it should. For questions like that this is the correct community.
