Chrome's RAM usage steadily grows when using it with this. I wanted to see if Firefox did any better - Puppeteer does indeed support it. But it's broken. It can't get past the login page - it never ends up filling the form. I'm not sure why.

Forgot to mention - Firefox doesn't support changing the proxy from the CLI so the profile would have to be modified.

For what it's worth, while Chrome's RAM usage rose steadily until the page crashed, Firefox (with DHT for autoscroll and mitmproxy for saving) used a ton of RAM, but it stopped rising after a while and after about 10 hours of scraping the page still hadn't crashed.

Plus, there's about:memory -> Minimise Memory Usage which, if run occasionally, can save 100MB or so.
