For YEARS now firefox has had a massive memory leak that continually eats up more and more of your ram until it inevitably consumes all of it and theres nothing left for windows crashing the PC. Even on startup it uses a disproportionately large amount of ram compared to any other web browser at 2.5 gigs, but it only crawls up from there, and if you leave it running for more than 24 hours your computer will start to stutter and slow to a crawl until it consumes all 32 gigs and crashes the computer unless you regularly restart firefox. And dont give me that unused ram is wasted ram crap, I need that ram to run other programs, 32gigs of ram being used to display one web page preventing me from running any other program on my computer and hindering the operation of the os is wasted ram! I can open up the same session on chrome and use less than a gig. And dont give me the lame ass check the firefox task manager solution either, because firefox's task manager gives you no information, it just says that a single tab is using a ridiculous amount of memory with no details. all my extensions together use less than a gigabyte, HOW HAS THIS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR SO LONG, AND WHY DO YOU REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT? There are countless forum posts asking for help with this very issue here and all over the internet.
