Firefox is always using HUGE amount of my RAM with several window opened far more than my tabs.
But since the last update this has really got out of hand, crashing my apps. (Windows 10, 64 bit Desktop PC)
I work with media apps which DO require a lot of memory, such as Adobe Audition, and last night Audition first slowed down and then crashed while I was rushing to finish an urgent project.
I thought what the heck is going on - opened Task Manager - and lo and behold Firefox had several windows running taking up 85% of memory which I needed for my app!!
I had only 5 -6 tabs opened in the browser - this is insane! every new update you release is more memory hungry - and I do NOT have ANY extensions and my computer is quite powerful designed for media work.
I found online advice to click on Minimise Memory button in about:memory - which I did.
But this should not be an OPTION which you have to guess how to disable! This has to be included in the Firefox SETTINGS!
So now, until you REDUCE this memory hunger I have to close the browser while working on my apps, or use another browser altogether.
Are there Firefox developers on this forum to reply?
