When I click the "+" icon to open a new tab it sometimes for some reason makes me get the "not responding" message in the title bar and the window goes white. It's not necessarily a crash, after a waiting 5-10 seconds it opens the new tab. People have told me to disable my browser extensions, although that didn't work. I don't have much else to say, but I'd be more than happy to cooperate.

Hi.

My laptop keeps freezing and I suspect Firefox is the reason. It's rather new, I have had it for about a month and half.

I initially thought it was a Windows update issue and updated it but after some experiments I noticed it only freezes when Firefox is open. It doesn't freeze when another browser is used or when am playing video games.

I am currently on Ubuntu and it still happens. It's really annoying and because of this I am still keeping my old laptop. Yesterday for example it happened at least thrice.

When I recently upgraded to Mac OS Golden Gate on my MacBook Air (with M1 processor), everything became VERY slow and glitchy. Very akin to days of Dial Up. Apple tech support stated this is an issue with Mozilla Firefox.

Please reach out and provide solutions. I have already cleared cookies and data from Firefox with very little benefit.

Please provide clear steps I can follow as I do not have a strong tech background.

Thank you

Firefox uses 2.6 GB of GPU memory on gemini.google.com (Linux, AMD iGPU)

Summary While Gemini Deep Research was researching a topic and building a PDF report, Firefox's memory and CPU use shot up and the whole laptop became sluggish. System RAM reached 12 of 13 GB. It came back to normal on its own after the report finished.

What I did 1. Opened gemini.google.com in Firefox. 2. Asked Gemini to research a topic and create a PDF (Deep Research). 3. While the report was being generated, the system slowed down badly.

What I measured - Firefox held about **2.6 GB of GPU (GTT) memory**, which comes out of system RAM on an integrated GPU, and it ran at about **100% CPU**. - Total GPU GTT memory in use reached **5.3 to 6.7 GB**, while normal process memory (RSS) added up to only about 5.4 GB. - System RAM reached about **12 of 13 GB in use**, and the system started swapping. - After the report finished, GTT use dropped to about **0.2 GB** and free RAM went back to about 3.8 GB. - Measured from `/sys/class/drm/card1/device/mem_info_gtt_used` and `drm-memory-gtt` in `/proc/<pid>/fdinfo`.

System - Laptop: Lenovo V15 G4 ABP - CPU/GPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7730U with integrated Radeon graphics (2 GB reserved as VRAM, 16 GB RAM in total) - OS: Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS, kernel 7.0.0-43, GNOME 50.1 on Wayland - Browser: Firefox 159.0.1 (Flatpak)

Questions 1. Is this expected for Deep Research, or is it a known issue? 2. Is there a setting or workaround (for example turning off hardware acceleration, or switching away from the tab while it generates) that reduces memory use? 3. Has anyone seen the same thing in Chrome, or on other integrated GPUs?

Thanks!

Y do you use too much space in the windows pc? Too much ram usage for simple browser activity? Like 10tabs take almost 2.5gb ram space and most of the tabs have simple non dynamic pages open..

I want to use Firefox instead of google chrome because chrome is too too much of a space occupier.. but you also seem to be equivalent to it... So thinking of unistalling u and switching to brave browser.. brave is very nice a lightweight than you , it seems so in the system monitor application

I'm running Firefox Nightly on my Galaxy S23. Sometimes when I click a link or enter a new search/site in the search bar, the new page will start to load, then it will automatically retun to the previous page. At that point, the "Forward" option is unclickable (can't easily return to the page that was already partially loaded) and the "Back" option takes me even further back in site history. This is very inconvenient, especially if I typed in a long search that was lost to this bug.

Recently I observed Firefox is consuming TOO MUCH of RAM on my PC. It is anywhere between 55 % & 65%. That’s too much! I’ve 12 GB of RAM.

Is this due to updating of FF? Btw, I did not install any Extensions. And if I close Firefox the RAM consumption comes down to around 33%.

I do have 12-14 open Tabs but I always had those open Tabs. Previously FF did not consume so much of memory. What could be the reasons for this heavy RAM consumption?
