Memory hog
Hello, I used to use FireFox consistently. Then I noticed a downgrade in performance. I checked Task Master and saw this FireFox with 45 entries. With few CPU entries, but over 3 Gigabytes of Memory usage. Why would that be, and what can I do to correct it and still be able to use FireFox?

Hi
Do you have many tabs open and several add-ons installed in Firefox?
Hi! High memory usage like that can happen if you have many tabs open or extensions running in the background. Try disabling extensions one by one, and also consider using Firefox’s Task Manager (Shift+Esc) to see which tabs or add-ons are consuming the most memory.
As I mentioned above, it occurs as soon as I launch FF, and there are no extensions or add-on's...
It often starts with 10-14 entries, and then climbs up to as many as 45+ entries on Task Manager...
