firefox is eating up my memory like crazy

camelspace — Mon, 03 Jun 2024 00:24:08 GMT

in the past two weeks or so firefox started to eat up all my memory.

15 gigs for 7 tabs and its keeps getting up.

telling me to restart the program is kind of embarrassing...

you've got a serious problem with your product!! i love it but you've got to fix it!!!

when i open 200!! tabs of live streams in chrome it takes me 8 gigs

i'am sad... i'am not a rich person and i only have my current rig in place and if 24 gigs is not enough for browsing???....

a reasonable persons thoughts....

I installed Fennec on my phone for the same reason, Librewolf on desktop and I immediately felt this problem go away.
