Thanks everybody for your suggestions. A lot of it seems to be a known Firefox issue where it doesn't release memory after closing a tab - at one stage yesterday arvo I had 2100+MB (over half my RAM!) being used by Firefox :-(
Hasn't been an issue till recently so I guess something has been updated somewhere which has then done something strange? Looks like I'm just going to have to keep an eye on it & clear the memory as it gets too bad :-( Could also be my laptop which is now 6 years old (!!!) & has been displaying some other hiccups, so may be on it's way out :-( Have now set up my own thread https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2021-July/014834.html re the issues I'm having setting up my own Roulette challenge.
