So Firefox was using 5gb? There's your problem.
- wincy 8mo agoIt’s a losing battle me trying to tell my wife to close her Firefox tabs, haha, but yes, Firefox does use a lot of ram when you have 500 tabs. Maybe I’ll get her a 64GB MacBook Pro for the premium web browsing experience she so desires!
- qudat 8mo agoTabs as bookmarks, people keep falling into this trap, my wife included
- nozzlegear 8mo agoI do it myself and I'm sure a lot of people on HN do too. But I've tried to embrace the "zen" of closing all tabs lately and it's been nice. If I really want to find something later I can search my history or, like you said, just bookmark it.
- astrange 8mo agoShe shouldn't have to do anything. That's the browser's job.
- mkl 8mo agoAuto Tab Discard: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/auto-tab-discard/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/auto-tab-disc... I have a Firefox window with 3500 tabs right now.
- cloudier1 8mo agoWhat page? Azure portal is notorious for leaking memory in both chrome and firefox, that’s the only tab I’ve seen using 5+ gb ram.
- cromka 8mo agoIs it leaking or is it by design? As far as I remember Azure site is just all of the pages combined in one single massive DOM.
