I have two Firefox tabs open on my browser. Task manager shows 35 tabs using 897 MB of memory. How do I make this stop? And why are so many tabs running? I have cleared cache, cookies, etc.

Is this a bug or config problem?

Occasionally, FF (Linux desktop) starts using a lot of memory. I kill tabs (sometimes it is OK to kill YouTube or X, sometimes not)

Eventually it starts impacting the system using so much memory. I terminate the FF instance. Often. More often than not. There is a separate task still running and I get the "Firefox is still running" when I try to restart. I then kill the remaining FF task via the OS or the process monitor. Then FF restarts.

Is this an issue with addons (I am running very few - uBlock Orign, and Privacy Badger and Cookie AutoDelete. Are the only ones active most of the time) Or is it an actual bug with garbage collection, and tasks getting away? Or is it an OS issue?

Hi, after update 137.0.1 (64-bit) using Firefox with latest Gecko driver 0.36.0 in Python Selenium stalls and fails to initiate drivers without returning initiation errors every second launch, previously this stall without returning initiation errors would happen every ~25th launch. Also when it does successfully launches previously 9 instances used to use about 95% of my 8 GB RAM, now 6 instances use 100% RAM. Nothing else in my system changed besides Firefox update.

Please assist or advise why Firefox seems to be slowing down my system by memory usage. I have a handful (6) of tabs open on 1 browser session and my system started slowing down so I checked my task manager and it shows that I have more than a dozen of Firefox instances open chewing up almost 90% of my memory.

Please assist or advise me on how to tweak my browser to perform better, and not to show ghost instances

I'm finding that firefoxcp isolated web content uses a LOT of memory on my Mac Mini. What can I do about this besides not using Firefox. I like the browser and have been using it since its introduction

Lately, I’ve noticed Firefox consuming more RAM, especially with multiple tabs open. Is this a common issue in recent updates? What are some tips to optimize Firefox performance on lower-end PCs? Would love to hear your experiences!

Firefox is creating very high CPU use with many WebThumbnailExtension Web Connect processes. The processes disappear after shutting down Firefox and other programs that access the internet. Does anyone have an answer on how to prevent this from happening?

When I open one tab on Firefox, my task manager shows multiple programs running along side it. I know some extra processes are needed but this seems like an unusual amount. I have included a screenshot of the tasks that appear. When I try to delete these, they reappear. I have tried various online solutions such as uninstalling and reinstalling, and checking various settings. It is affecting my computer's performance and I am not sure how to solve this. Thank you!

I've noticed my GPU fan runs heavily as soon as I open Firefox, and with even just only one browser page open, it runs high speed, where it didn't use to do this. How can I get Firefox from requiring so much of my power. I don't want my electric bill higher just because of a browser. I have a decent GPU good for gaming quality that usually doesn't get clocked enough to cause the fan to turn on and run at high speed unless it's a high-graphics computer game or something. Anything I can do to make the browser demand less on my GPU?

All of a sudden, I get a "Not enough room to save" error message when I try to download a fill. There is plenty of room on my disk.

Also, it's not giving me the option of just opening the file.

I've been needing to use Edge to download files.

I believe this problem began in 133. I've noticed that if FF is open for a few hours, it starts to develop a very noticeable input lag. For example, if I'm watching a YouTube video and hit an arrow key to advance the video, there will be a couple of seconds before the browser registers the key press. It behaves like a high CPU issue but I do not detect high CPU usage when this is happening. Restarting the browser resolves the issue for a few hours.

This is happening on Windows 11 as well as on a Mac running Sonoma.

Firefox prompted me that my local storage space was insufficient. When I opened the data management page, I found that a particular website's local storage was abnormally large, and some websites were inaccessible or unable to log in. After restarting Firefox, the issue did not reoccur.
