### Changes:

- Fixes Firefox's memory leaks. Camoufox discards the cache after each navigation.
- Bfcache is now completely disabled. This should improve memory, but kills Playwright's page.go_back() and page.go_forward(). To re-enable this, set `browser.sessionhistory.max_entries` to the amount of pages you want to remember.
- Moved SanitizeOnShutdown policy to preferences instead to unlock the clearOnShutdown preferences. [#47](https://github.com/daijro/camoufox/discussions/47)
- Added experimental `memorysaver` property that clears the JS heap after each page.goto navigation. Helpful for datacenters running Camoufox, but could potentially break things. Won't be officially documented as it is experimental.
- The mouse position will now start in a random location on the screen instead of at (0, 0).
- Fixed screenshots not capturing the full window when a viewport is set by window.innerWidth and window.innerHeight.
