The 390Mi was the buffer/cache number. Today's result:
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 7.7Gi 5.1Gi 1.3Gi 138Mi 1.7Gi 2.6Gi
Swap: 37Gi 52Mi 37Gi
And the problem was also occurring on my other computer, MSI Z790 with
Intel i9-14000K and 64 GB of memory.
It's not a memory problem. I turned off "hardware acceleration" in
Firefox and got a crash later.
I'm usinng Chromium now and (so far) I haven't had any crashes.
