Why is Firefox 157 and up stealing so much RAM?
Since Firefox 157, each version is stealing more and more RAM. Why? My Windows XI, on HP with an AMD processor, are constantly losing more and RAM to Firefox. Is there any advice? Or must I suspend all updates?

Hi there,
Do you experience any actual issues, e.g. slowdows or anything? If you are just looking at numbers of Task Manager, that information is basically useless, as it does not distinguish actual usage and cache memory. Firefox's about:processes page is more useful, as that shows the actual memory usage. (For example my actual usage at this very moment is 950 MB, while Task Manager says 3,35 GB RAM is reserved.)
Anyway, this knowledge base article has some useful information and resources about this topic: Fix Firefox using too much memory or CPU resources.

Nevermind. It was a stupid extension that I should have would take more memory than any. Thank you, anyway.
