Are you using any addons that might cause that mem usage?
I am a tab junky (regularly > 200+ tabs, sometimes 1000+) and Firefox never died, and it is used on a laptop that has also IntelliJ + java apps which use quite a big chunk of memory.
You might consider reducing number of processes used by Firefox, I set it to 3 even when I have 4 cores available, it helps reduce memory usage.
Linux with 16GB of RAM.
- blueberry_47 7y agoWhat's the use case for 1000+ tabs? Just curious.
- krzyk 7y agoIt's like temporary bookmark really - something that I want to read today. I just don't close tabs that often as I should, I forget I wanted to read or I get distracted etc. And I don't force close tabs when closing the browser.
- igetspam 7y agoNothing much. The biggest consumer could be tampermonkey but the last script I was using has been disabled for a while. I am using multiple profiles though, which could be a problem. My non primary provide gets reaped more than the primary. I'll try cutting down the number of cores it can use and see if that does anything.
