Hello Mark, I can not second this impression as my FF 58.0.2 on Kubuntu 16.04 (8GB RAM) uses ~900MB right now with the main process taking up around 200MB of that. Currenty there are 2 Tabs pinned (WhatsApp Web and one TW) and... let me count... 24 Tabs open one of them YouTube playing a video. So your problem is quite strange as the memory use was significantly decreased with the FF 58 Update. Before that my Firefox was almost as bad as Chrome in regards to memory but since than it got so much better. Maybe there are some plugins of yours eating up your memory? I can not remember that I ever had to reboot my computer/browser due to memory problems. My last computer reboot was like 4 days ago since then I only went to hibernate with Firefox still open and no problems so far.
