So I've heard. So is this something I just have to live with? Does everyone have this problem? I actually did used to kill firefox when I was experiencing memory pressure - it certainly relieved the immediate problem, but I think I found that not all the memory used was returned, and when I restarted firefox, the problem of running out of memory often returned before long (i.e., in much less time than after a fresh install).
Yes that's typical for today's browsers. I never close browsers/reboot my home-work computer, right now I have 2 days uptime and 17 GB memory allocated between my normal day to day tools. Go to Firefox Settings / Performance Untick Recommended settings and change Content process limit to 1. Like in the screenshot. That will decrease memory usage. -- With kindest regards, Piotr. ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian - The universal operating system ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://www.debian.org/ ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀
