That's precisely the issue, it doesn't matter if Firefox just freezes for 250ms, it's enough to be perceptible and annoy me.
- endemic 10y agoI had the same problem, and it was annoying as heck. Try running a multi-process build (Nightly/Aurora/Beta) and see if your experience gets any better.
- sp332 10y agoFor some reason the freezes are much worse in multi-process. Certain sites freeze it up consistently; newegg.com for example I just measured 67 seconds the whole window was completely unresponsive. If I disable e10s it runs fine.
- asimuvPR 10y agoI'm a hardcore Firefox user. Its been my browser of choice since it came out. I'm a true Mozillian to the heart. But it kills me that I can mostly keep one window open with less than 15 tabs on a Macbook that has 16GB of ram and a fast SSD. I currently have 9 tabs/1 window and its using up 3.13GB of memory. None of the tabs have heavy Javascript processes.
- fabrice_d 10y agoDo you have add-ons installed? You should really not get this memory usage on a clean installation. One way to see what's going on is to open a tab to `about:memory` and take a measure?
- dredmorbius 10y agoI am becoming ever more convinced that tabbed browsing is a horrible kludge. The fact that tabbed browsing's inventor's said as much doesn't do much to dissuade me. Vastly better bookmarking or state management seem needed.
- TheLML 10y agohow? I currently have 118 tabs open and using a little under 450MB RAM.
- asimuvPR 10y agoI wish I knew. Luckily someone got in touch and we're working on figuring it out. Its probably an annoying corner case.
