I was already using 55.x Beta. My BIGGEST issue, is that EVERY browser seems to chew up memory over time, just by leaving it open with tabs going. Firefox, Chrome, Safari. All do the same thing. Alleviated by using the Great Suspender in Chrome, but why can't they all have this just built in? Startup/speed, and initially memory use really haven't been that big of an issue. It's the memory, and finally grinding to a halt that is the BIGGEST issue for me. I can't escape it.
Happens on MacOS, and Windows for me.
- gamekathu 9y agoI just downloaded 55.x beta to see whats such hype about, but opening more tabs are still chewing memory on Mac. maybe it is not mac optimized yet?
- overcast 9y agoYeh I've gone from 500MB to 1.06GB in the time since I wrote the last post, an hour? Forty tabs total.
- the8472 9y agoThere is a fairly big, incrementally growing memory leak in firefox that has been fixed in recent nightlies and uplifted to beta 5 days ago. So it'll probably be in the next beta build. https://bugzil.la/1377738 https://bugzil.la/1377738
