Every time when i hibernante computer i do not close any apps including firefox, so i noticed that from time to time it consumes mor than 1,5gb of ram doing nothing only 2 tabs are open both without flash games or anything, even if there would be flash I have a blocker, sites usually are manga one and contain images.

When i do browse the net i have more then 8 tabs open and as i suposse RAM is not freed after i close tabs. Any help?

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
  • Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Your above posted system details show multiple Java Console extensions. You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions and disable the Java Quick Starter extension, you do not need them to run Java applets.
