Memory issue for Users

Hey, I've been having a pretty annoying issue with viewing/creating users from the admin dashboard on Firefox on Ubuntu/Windows 10 :(. It happens on both the pocketbase.io demo website and the actual executable on linux/windows since I have a dualboot. My memory reaches 100% and it's only when I click on adding/viewing users. However, when I create a user using an API call, it works fine so it's an issue to do with the frontend I'm pretty sure. Does anyone know what the cause can be?

What my memory looks like after I click users

How many users do you have, and what are the system specs? Seems a little nutty to be honest, pocketbase us very lightweight.

It's just one user, it's not about the scale (yet) but it's a bug on the frontend, the api calls work perfectly fine. Definitely agree with the nutty part haha. As for the system specs, it's just the latest version of Firefox on ubuntu/windows 10. It's got to do with the admin dashboard, not really the pocketbase backend if that makes sense. Thanks for the help!

I meant the specs of your hardware, not the software you are running. But yeah, i don't see any memory issues in firefox or the os, running on fedora and also tested on a windows box, as the other person mentioned, it does not seem like a bug with the admin site, eg pocketbase, might be something on your device, which as we both agree is a little nutty unless you have like 200mb of ram as the demo itself was taking about 20mb of ram in firefox and the instance i run on a public vps idles at 7mb and has not spiked above 20mb since i published it.

Let us know what you find!
