I uninstalled all the non-default extensions and deleted the extensions
folder as you said.
I rebooted then:
246.2 MB at 10:19 in the morning
449.6 10:45 - then just left the PC on but did not use it.
2.5 GB 16:49
3.0 GB 17:50
Both previously and after removing the extensions today, if I issue the
[alt-F2 r] command, the memory drops back down to 250 MB from however
many GBs it is.
settings.txt is as follows. It shows extensions as active that have been
removed (not present in either extensions app or via Firefox extensions
addon). Note that apart from audio output switcher, caffeine, clipboard
indicator and night theme switcher, all the others were uninstalled
previously, even many months ago.
