In a thread discussion about the flag, "browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory" dated 23-Nov-2022 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33706117) it was mentioned that we've disabled tab unloading on Linux because low-memory detection just didn't work.
Has the issue been fixed? Does the low-memory detection work in Linux? Can it be enabled now?
Does it get triggered when SWAP is being used? Or when system free RAM falls say to about 25% of total physical RAM?
Dear Mozilla. Yes, I'm using the dreaded Windows 10, I do understand it's at end-of-use, however this prob's been happening for ages. It's just got a little worse lately… (læs mere)
Dear Mozilla.
Yes, I'm using the dreaded Windows 10, I do understand it's at end-of-use, however this prob's been happening for ages. It's just got a little worse lately! (I've also got another hard drive with Windows 7 on it I swap the Windows 10 drive for sometimes. And we don't talk about the Windows XP hard drive with my music software on it. AARRRGGGHHH!!!! But the everyday drive with this problem is definitely Windows )
I don't use masses of extensions, just a VPN (which is there but not used a lot!) and is Proxy VeePN (that's its name, blame the designers, not me!) When I'm NOT using Firefox for a few moments, I hear the fans speed up, the hard drive spins like it's about to take off (old computer here!) The moment I touch the mouse, the fans all slump back to normal and the red 'HIGH USAGE' mark against Firefox vanishes back down to 'LOW'. Which makes it annoyingly difficult to analyze what's happening cos the moment I touch the mouse to find out what's happening, it stops happening!
Despite the above and its memory addiction - left to itself it munches memory like me with a crate of chocolate bars! - I do love Firefox best of all the browsers. I kinda know what causes the memory problem, by the way. I don't know all the techie terms but here's what's going on. Imagine you've got a house with an untidy kid in it. Every time one room gets too messy to use, you move into the next room. Eventually you run out of rooms. Then you restart the house back from day one, all the rooms are tidy again and you can use them all individually and happily - until Untidy Kid turns back up!
I'm on Firefox 148.0.2. If you've got any ideas about the CPU usage, I'm [email removed]@hotmail.com. It doesn't seem to matter what websites I've got in the browser, it just does this when I've got it parked in the background, it's like it's twiddling virtual thumbs through boredom cos it's not being used.
Yours respectfully,
Chris.
Why for 1 tab would there need to be this many different processes?
How do I restore performance?

Dlaczego FIREFOX spowalnia i często karty się samoczynnie przeładowują? Nie zdążysz jednego artykułu przeczytać i się wszystko odświeża, cały czas się odświeża. Na konkurencyjnych przeglądarkach MICROSOFT EDGE i AVG SECURE BROWSTER cały czas działające odświeżanie nie występuje !!!!!
Ever since the last Firefox update my CPU has been screaming and creating high battery drain and heat! By the way this is on a Mac book Air.

Anyone else had problems the last two weeks with performance? I'm on a macbook (Tahoe 26.3.1) and in the last two weeks tabs are constantly crashing or freezing. I have never had this before. It's doing my head in and I'm about to make the painful move over to Chrome if nobody has any ideas how to fix it?! I don't want to do that as all my bookmarks etc are set up on Firefox...
I only opened these few web pages and five extensions, and it already used 3GB of memory, which is really abnormal.

protect the browser as strict as possible.

So ever since the desktop browser got updated i have been experiencing critical crashes and lag where my pc screen freezes and then goes to black until i restart my graphics card and quit firefox in addition to tabs crashing and very weird performance issues overall, any fixes for this issue?
The summary says it all. I feel that Firefox uses to many system resources!

Your site has been freezing daily, mostly twice, in last 3 moths or so - on different networks and different devices, causing me to lost relevant data. As your avid user for long time, I am considering to switch in spite of familiarity. Do better for you current and potential new user as I am very much unlike to recommend you and use anymore. Sincerely.
