5 Time in raw Firefoxes crashed because i was too power hungry. first two time I close manually 3 and 4 time and ha dto manually kileld it. Then on 4th time sesstion restaure Fail. 5Th time I try manually retaurique using my historique it lag I quit, but the library and history stay open and FF never die I had to kill it manually and here I am now wih only one page opened and FF consumme all my ram.

I updated my assus last year I have up to 8GBram now and I am back to the problem when i had 4GB ram.

Remember when you could set up a "restaure session button" on your homepage, and it wasn't rgeyout. Yess at the time Emergency back up in case of crash weren't as reliable as they were 3 days ago. Rememebr when the ctrl +maj +N worked? (This why as muti tab bitch I always use 3 windows and this why I also don't want to uatomatic sessionrestaure even tho I walays end up restauring session at the begining or before closing it when I want a quick search or FF was triggered by another app.)

Remember when your sesson restaure TAB fail to load as it did to me twice this day, you could ctr+ T and then homepage and you were good?

I fear that the sessions resstaure and profiel system juste died on me !

FF being a memory hog combien dwith my system limitation ain't that of a big deal. (If I have my about session restore tab operationnal, that is.)

ALthoug I will admit. Creating a save of my current historic and session do'nt seem worth it if I don't get any help or advices when I discover that my fear were correct( if they are correct). I am too lazy for that and I wanna void the stress.

P.S I wited hour in mys eellp for this page to stop freezing and when I woke up FF was only consummuing 3 GB of ram so I went on restauring my session. And when I was done with the first window I tried with teh second using the technique of having two windows with des onglets épinglés.

It lagued badly I ctrl + maj + q I didn't killed FF (although it killed itself alone....) Got an erreor message click on tehr ed cross by habit (because I lost on session by restarting via this wondows it fucked up the session restaure somehow)

Re-oppen a new session got a white tab. wait for it wait for it. Wiat for the error message. Noooooooppppppeee !!!!!! FUCK ME THEN ! I have stuff to do I don't wanna waste eons on this please heeeeellllllllpppppppppp !!!!!

hello b,

yes. FireFox is a memory hog. But it now appears that you have adequate amount of memory of 8 gig.

can you tell us how much space is being allocated to virtual-memory/Page-file by your Windows7?

Hello ???? B stand for Baptiste. And thank you for answering me !!!

"But it now appears that you have adequate amount of memory of 8 gig." I discovered this morning this wasn't aneough anymroe ! Haaaaa Adblock facebook containers are all ncie things But now I wish they refused that security update and stayed on the "one window = one processus."


I wil tell you how much ram but the main issue I was only able tor estaure my session only once this day. And it was one tab !!!!! So teh ram has always been an issue but the main issue is that in case of crash The blank tab neveroad so I never to the "about;sessionrestore.js" I don't even find it in my folder anymore !!!!! If I have to wast the entire fucking week-end to restaure my session by going in my historic fetch soem tabs close wait rinse and repeat.. I would do It no problem It would suck but I wouldn't be here !!!!!! I am here because I can't even do that I tried !!!!!!

07 GB when I had 4GB 0.9/1.2 GB now .

FF use like 7 000 000 Ko main app.

hello,

there is no reason for that much memory to be utilized for 1 tab.

so your browser could be high-jacked by malware.

this may have occurred a long time ago when you installed software that was designed to take control of your computer.

sometimes, this malware is also designed to start with the windows operating system.

what i suggest that you do, is to start your computer with a "clean windows".

a clean windows will open up more memory as well.

to begin this procedure, click on Start > Run > msconfig

then disable all the startups listed in the start up tab.

then reboot, and retest your browser, and analyze the memory

Nono... I had multiple tabs it just retored one tab.. because This Time aorund it wa sjust a test I openned a nab use it a openned a blank tab closed the frist tab ctrl + maj + Q FF crashed, and when I clcik restart FF it worked it restore teh tab I closed earleir automaticly it wa smy first sucesfulls ession restore of teh day.

I know I should adw clean my PC it ha sbeen a long time and I have supicions.... But even when I do i still have this problem. It is more flud yess but FF still this massive of a hog !

And for the processsus that take 5/7 Billons of octets I figure out it wa sthe main app.

if your FireFox is using a lot of memory, then it is because a malware is also utilizing the browser.

i have attached a picture of my FireFox and the memory usage.

your computer should indicate similar data.

I have attached a seconday image that shows how to restart FireFox in a clean-mode.

try it out.

Nono I have cleansed with my usal methods. Adw is obsolete but it is the best I have for this bécane. And I think it was the discord tab.

I never use discord without my browser and running the two app at the same is is toorturing my ram....

+ I can't mute/unmute the tab. This why I use teh browser version even if I have the appli installed.

I haven't fully restored my cession yet ... But during the operation I kept the discord and google drive tab closes this time around. And I didn't notice oen processus taking up all the Ram. And even Know the processus that take up most of the RAM is at 800 000 KO....

AlsoI have always restore my session without any crash..... And my Issue was that when FF crash now I remind you this why I openned this topic. This morning when I had this problem and I selpt in front of my PC writting this topic, because with only one page I had FF take all the RAM when I woke up at 14H de l'aprem.... FF was only taking up like 3 000 000 Ko in Total. I could write again.

My supposition at the time was as follow : "FF was trying to restaure my session but it is buguued and I have touched it so it is lagging and bugguing etc."

So peharps now this is over if I crash now I will have the tab saying "Sorry we lost all your tab blahblah but we can restore." (40% of the time where I try to close FF end up in a crash. so I rely on this) But I am not sure this is the case or this tab "about:sessionrestore" is still buggued. I prefer to assume IT IS. And so I am still looking for a way to fix it, thefore I would really appreciate if you focused on that matter.

Because I am fine now : https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/790173062719864832/835568858487980102/unknown.png (At least on the RAM issue)

The about sessions restaure failled me multiple time this day. I told you about I sucefully restored one tab? Yhea I took cofidence and try a manual session restore and the multitab bitch that I was crashed FF and then I launched it again. See the white tab looaaaad loadd and paff stop load a regualr white tab instead of the session restore tab. I don't want this to happen ever again. Becau FF take time to close itself and it often crash during those times sometimes at the very last momeent. I need this functionality to be operational.

It also tell me how good my co is with more detail and precision than what taskhost can porvide me.

And the rest that is not usefull like sidebare.exe, I can handle it without your advises. Ha sidebare...

But windows disable that fonctionality I trashed my keyboard with water so I can't Fn + space anymore, I am using an external keyboard and My fan died so I am using an external fan.... So at this point I am killing it on launch with many other stuff.

I have this PC for years now and before I had the 8GB ram and was stuck wih 4GB. FF wasn't the onlyt thing giving me ram problems...... So I know wich app/processus etc I can disable. I know when I need to clean this (Well erm I should have clean my PC 3 month ago but this time I was too lazy....)

C'est bon j’ai vidangé l'huile frère ! te fais pas de souci.... J'ai pas besoin de ton aide pour ça. As I said main issue is if I crash

Because I clean this up now but I haven't fully restaure my session I will be multitabbing soon enoughand chance I are high that will get back to a situation where FF crash often.

For now FF close itself smoothly last Time I could ctrl + Maj + Q and then it close in one sec no problem and I could close my PC really smoothly, it only does this when I use FF for a short time here I would use it normaly. It is because I cleansed my PC.... But It WILL GET DIRTY AGAIN. I cannot insist enough on this my PC IS OOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDD Really OOOOOOOLLDDD No matter what you do I will eventually get back to the problems I had !!!!!!!! And when I do, I WANT THE about:session restore tab TO WORK PROPERLY You know the tab with the teday bear with a cardbox in hsi hand.... You have it too???

it sounds you may have issues with hardware-drivers.

there was a time when they could be used to infect the computer

also, they can become outdated too.

and you also use the computer for games

i suspect that FireFox is not the problem

instead, i suspect it is a symptom

what i suggest is to format the harddrive.

then re-install the operating system.

what is the brand and model of your computer?

there is probably a procedure to do a factory restore

I am sure otehr users had similar issues (even tho I did not find any topic) This tab didn't load on the 24th of april 2021. Multiples times as I manually tried to restaure my session.

And I will repeat myself I can't do any restore now the fonctionality is no longer operational instead I store back up on extaernal disk time to time. This kind of help you are provididng would eb rgeat to help me uninstall some widescreen apps etc and other problem not related to FF. But that is not my priority. Let me reiterate : My priority is the about session restore Tab, I wanna be sure it is operational for the next crash.

more options

I see.

i have reason to believe that there are some limitations as to how many tabs FF can open.

the more tabs that are opened, the more memory that is consumed.

my suggestion at this time is for you boot your windows 7 in safemode w/networking.

then retest FireFox and tabs and session restores.

then let us know what the results are.

more options

More tab are openned.. nah more active tabs are openned to be precise. Soem tab get disabled with time.

What do you mean in safemode? Is there such a thing on 7? Ha sans échec !! I get it now...


I will try to open as many youtube and discords tabs as possible until it crash.....


Eeeeeeerrrrrmmmmm will I have to recreate a firefox acount and register the current session within the cloud before doing that

Ha wait shit my laptop keyboard is no longer operational I dunno if My USB keyboard will be on start when the assus logo appear And I forgot what key I must press in those 3 sec F7? F5? F6? F11? Est-ce que le mode sans échec c'est vraiment nécessaire?

more options

i'm sorry.

i have concluded that FireFox is not the issue on your system. Instead it is a symptom.

there is adequate information on this thread that you began for asking us for help.

now its up to you to do something about the problems instead of complaining about them.

please let us know when you have new information to provide to us.

take cara.
