Firefox eats memory. 4GB of memory is barely enough to run browser and show few tabs.

  And this was one of the reasons I switched to Chrome many years ago.

    Doesn't Chrome have similar memory bloat?

  No issues here on Linux. The latest ESR major release has even improved memory use slightly compared to the previous version.

  On the windows box I'm currently typing, Firefox is eating less than two gigabytes with over seventy-five open tabs.

  I have two FF windows open with a total of ~300 tabs and its currently consuming 2.1GB (Windows 10).

  Using Nightly on Linux (Bunsen Helium), 360 tabs, using 1.5 GB, but that will grow if I fire up dormant tabs. Starts going out to swap if I run it too long, then I kill it and update Nightly.

  Chrome eats way more across the board in my experience
