100% Disk and 4GB ram usage with one page open?
Hi guys, and thanks for your support, ahead of time.
I have googled everything I can to figure this out and have minimized the memory several times in the settings. Yet, time and time again... especially with Facebook open as the page, I get 100% Disk usage and 4GB ram.
How in the world does one page utilize this much resource? How do I fix it?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
