You mean, like "my systems have 16GB of RAM - I want Firefox to use as much memory as possible to speed up my experience."?

- getsat 15y agoThat quote is one of the dumbest things I've ever read on this site.
- DanNeely 15y agoGiven the choice between being forced to restart my browser because it's memory use is approaching the 4GB limit of a standard 32bit process rendering it unusable, despite my having several GB free; and it being able to remain stable by expanding past 4GB I'll take the extra memory usage. Improving memory usage so that my browser never approaches the 4gb point in the first place would be ideal; but based on my personal history I strongly expect that any such gains will continue be eaten by increasingly heavy use on my part and those of sites I visit.
