Issue: when coming back from suspend/sleep my STG max's out my 20GB of RAM and just about crashes my operating system

Describe the bug
Me and my wife are having a similar issue. When I come back from suspend/sleep STG uses 100% of my 20GB of RAM and 100% of my 2 GB of hard drive swap. As you can imagine it just about makes the entire operating system crash. The only thing I can do is very patiently wait for the task manager to open, sort by RAM usage, and see that STG is maxing out all my RAM.

Because everything is just about entirely frozen I cannot tell if this is because it's loading all the websites simultaneously or what is going on.

My wife had the same issue and she just immediately uninstalled STG, and that fixed it for her. But I love STG and would like to keep using it.

She is using Macbook Air with M1.
I'm using Linux Mint 21.3 XFCE.

Expected behavior
I was using STG for at least a month before this started happening.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS and version: Linux Mint 21.3 XFCE
• Firefox version: 130.0
• Simple Tab Groups version: 5.2

I'm definitely not encountering this issue, even on browser startup.

Is it really STG, or does it happen even with the extension disabled? Does it happen on distros other than Linux Mint?

I don't think extensions like this one are aware of the computer's standby sleep/resume, nor that they'd do anything particular in that moment.

Thanks for the comment.

Today I got a chance to try something that I think proves it was STG. Luckily as RAM usage was increasing I was able to open Firefox extensions and disable STG, I was about to hit 19.9 GB of ram usage when I disabled it dropped immediately to 8 GB.

When I looked at my downloads, disabling STG caused 4 STG automatic backups to fail.

So it would seem that STG was either trying to catch up with all the back ups that should have happened during the time the computer was asleep, and it tried to auto save multiple times simultaneously or the autoback up has a RAM leak?

I switched my auto backup to occur once a month (it was set for every 2 hours) to see if this does prevent this behavior.
