Aurelien,
libumem was the preferred solution a few years ago. I ran across using it for Wine and it solved a few things for me.FOSS devs lean on what's supported or works for them.

 Hi,
This is just a simple and honest question.
I have rebuilt Firefox and Thunderbird with jemalloc disabled and linked to libumem.
I am not sure if the behaviour is related to adjusting layout.frame_rate=24 or the memory alloc but Thunderbird seems less "bloated".
Any experience?
Kind regards

Aurélien
