Firefox eating memory, starts at ~200M and ends up over 1G even with only one window open. Used to work well, not I have to close it every few minutes, restart.
Seems to have a memory leak. Used to be a great program, now a huge resource hog. What give?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Went into safe mode, Well, started at 200M and went to over 700M. with 5 tabs. Why in gods name does it need so much memory? That's ridiculous! Granted I'm running an older computer, ,but it's always been fine for web surfing and basic stuff, but now the cursor freezes constantly, and then I restart and it's just fine for about 5 minutes.
I think they need to get back to Firefox's roots. A simpler, better, faster browser. I remember when it first came out. It was blazing fast from IE, with a very small foot print. Now it's just another piece of bloat ware. Arrgh. Please fix it!
More than one process is normal for the current Firefox. http://www.ghacks.net/2016/07/22/multi-process-firefox/
