Firefox crashes because low free left RAM!

more options

I have many tabs like 200-300. Firefox crashed today. I also have 4GB page file on top of that. Strange! After I restarted Firefox it was using only 6.8GB RAM. Perhaps memory leak. BTW if I have browser.cache.disk.enable set to false. Is page file still used?

Thanks for help.

Probably unless there would be update, AA solutions update frequently. It could be also some components Bitdefender support said, I will switch them on 1 by 1 to see, if it will happen again.

I don't also know why I have 1GB of cache. I don't that much, I don't want it to grow to like 10GB. While browser.cache.disk.capacity is set only to default 256000 (it is supposed to be in MB). So I don't know how it is possible that I have 1GB of cache, when it is limited to 256MB!

i made that 256000 into 1256000, on my machine.

but it didnt help when i opened 20 tabs.

however i do see an improvement in performance

btw the bytes are as follows:

0 = 1's 00 = 10's 000 = hundreds's 6000 = thousands 56000 = 10thousands 256000 = millions, aka megs
