Typical pcs have 8gb ram. If Firefox is using 5gb then the system is under memory pressure. Assuming they have slack or discord and Spotify running for example

- capitainenemo 6y agoFirefox is really only using 5 gigs because the system has so much RAM in the first place. It's just their default tuning options. If the RAM is needed for slack/discord/spotify, then just restart Firefox. It'll make use of a fraction of what is left. You can also reduce Firefox RAM usage in about:config and by reducing the number of content processes in settings. But Firefox is really very good with crazy numbers of tabs these days. https://metafluff.com/2017/07/21/i-am-a-tab-hoarder/ https://metafluff.com/2017/07/21/i-am-a-tab-hoarder/
