Is firefox actually using memory in such a way that other programs can't use it, or is it simply making efficient use of memory but caching everything it can?

- annnnd 12y agoVM starts swapping so much that it is not usable anymore.
- Gracana 12y agoAh, okay. By the way, I was just fiddling around and found "about:memory", which contains a lot of interesting information about memory usage and a couple tools for cleaning up memory. Might be interesting to look at when the browser starts bogging down your system.
- annnnd 12y ago"about:memory" is probably great, but it is too detailed for someone who is not familiar with FF internal architecture. The way I see it it is mainly useful for FF developers. I like "about:addons-memory" (available if you install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/about-addons-memory/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/about-addons-...).
