inconsistency between the ram used system / task manager firefox
the windows task manager tells me that firefox uses about 2.5GB of ram. the firefox task manager tells me that it only uses 500 mega bytes around, see the attached image: thx you .

Hi f-trnt,
The reason for the disparity in ram is that Windows Task Manager measures overall memory used by a process while Firefox Task Manager is used to show what resources Firefox is using and troubleshoot which tabs or extensions are slowing down Firefox.
To troubleshoot memory issues see : Firefox uses too much memory or CPU resources - How to fix
Let me know if this helps.
