How much memory should firefox be using

A Former User @leocg last edited by @leocg said in Why does opera use so much memory?:For a start, see Opera's task manager to try to find out what is using the memory.Hi, here a picture of task managers i can't access to opera tasks manager, i do right click but they don't suggest any task manager of the browser. How can I access opera's task manager?AAah while writing, i've just been randomly in the "logo" of opera, and "developer" and i found task managerAnd all those things are only 2 tabs opened right now, youtube homepage (so no video playing at all!) and just the Opera forum.Isn't it a little much for just 2 tabs? And no video running furthermore said in Why does opera use so much memory?:Opera and other Chromium browsers separate tabs into processes. And, now, for security reasons, they use strict site isolation, which creates more processes. Extensions (including built-in ones) are in separate processes too. Sidebar apps too. Flash too. GPU process too.So, in general, running a browser is like running a boat-load of programs all at once.Why the youtube tab is using a lot of ram though probably depends on what you were doing in that tab (What video, how long and how long you watched it etc. and a whole bunch of other things). 1.2gb of ram being used isn't really surprising these days.I see. But it is just weird (im not used to it, i only noticed it for a few weeks that Opera became kinda slow, i can hear the fan working).In the past, it would use only like 30% of memoryYesterday, i tried mozilla firefox, even Firefox uses less memory, for the same number of tabs (3 tabs for example). And last night, i had over 10-15 tabs opened, Firefox would use upto 500-600 Mo (youtube, video, html pages, google search, google image, websites,...), while Opera uses 900 Mo for only 2 tabs (Opera forum + homepage of youtube)It's really surprising actually ?? I don't know how firefox manages the memory, but opera used to be "lighter" than firefox

Note: If you’re downloading the firmware file using Safari then ensure that auto unzip feature is disabled or use Chrome or Firefox.ĭirect Download iOS 16.4 IPSW Links for iPhone: Identify iOS Firmware File to Download based on your iPhone Model.If you’re not sure which firmware file to download for your iPhone, then check the post which will help you identify which firmware file to download based on your iPhone’s model. In a memory leak, you’ll see the memory usage keep increasing the more prolonged the browser is open/in-use, and this is what happens with Firefox.Below are the direct links for the iOS firmware updates that have been released for the iPhone by Apple so far. It’s quite normal for Firefox to be sucking up ~100 MB of memory right off the bat. We like keeping our apps running for a few days (that’s just the way we roll), and because of this, Firefox was using over ~800 MB of memory after about three days. Firefox still uses a lot of memory – way too much memory for a web browser. If you thought it was too good to be true, you were right.One of the most significant “improvements” that Mozilla claims is Firefox memory usage, particularly the vanquishing of memory leaks.A portable version is also available.įiremin will eliminate all memory leaks in Firefox by tweaking the Rizonesoft Memory Booster core a little and applying it to Firefox, including extensions.

It squashes out excess RAM but it makes your CPU work much harder. Anyway, the way most websites and apps are built today the bottle neck is the obscene amount of disc thrashing they force in order to get the limitless gobs of awful java and javascript to run Review details I didn't see much of a difference if any, as I am using a memory optimizer, and the options are NOT saved, always reverts to don't launch Firefox, needs fixing! Review details Immediately after optimizing, launching Firefox, there was a difference. Firefox is now opening right away, pages are loading fast and there is no more delay. Regardless if this was supposed to accomplish such a thing, it works. Multiple tabs open, no issues or slowdowns. I was reluctant to use this as Firefox was always fairly stable for me but this really did make a difference and anyone who uses Firefox should get this. Review details

I'm using Windows 10 Pro version 1703 build 15063.296 in Bootcamp on a Macbook Pro '15. This setup has been running fine for two years until the last big Windows 10 update. Now I'm constantly getting out of memory errors. The laptop has 16GB of RAM which is never close to full. The committed memory though is maxing out. When I check to see what program is using a high amount of committed memory in Resource Monitor, everything is pretty low, usually less than 500MB. Windows will say Firefox or Chrome is using too much memory, but I can't find any evidence of this with Task Manager, Resource Monitor or Process Explorer. How can I find what is actually using up all the committed memory and crashing my computer? Here are some screenshots of the process list while the commit charge is extremely high. I had to close Chrome and Slack just to free up enough memory to take a screenshot. Resource Monitor Process ListCommitted Memory

500 tab threshold (or higher) to the extent that closing it takes longer. But since tabs aren't loaded on restart until you click them, its memory usage tends to stay much, much lower during regular usage.I want to like Chrome. It's fast, it's pretty speedy, but for my use case, it's not ideal. It's good for some things, but Firefox is much better behaved! I don't doubt. Firefox with hundreds of tabs works well with 4GB RAM, and somewhat bearable on 2GB, with occasional restart once per week or so to clean it up.On the other hand, I wasn't able to use Chrome the same way I use Firefox on PC with 8GB RAM. > I don't doubt.I misread eridal's comment. :) I thought he/she said they were using Chrome, not Firefox, hence my understandable surprise!I've corrected my mistake. Sorry about the confusion. Surprised no one else picked it up... why don't? unused tabs won't consume much, or at least noticeable to me.I do have a coffee-break whenever I open my IDE > why don't? unused tabs won't consume much, or at least noticeable to me.Because I COMPLETELY misread your original comment. :( I thought it read that you were using Chrome, not Firefox.I'm truly very sorry about that, eridal.My experiences are just like yours, though. Firefox works great for me (relatively low memory usage, up to and including 200+ tabs). Chrome, on the other hand, not so much.Hopefully you can see why I was surprised, but it was through the entire fault of my own eyes apparently interleaving another comment with yours. I'm an idiot. ;) I have a 4GB Windows 7 machine with over 500 tabs in Firefox and it still runs Office, IE11 and various other stuff without any problems. Mind you, Firefox only loads tabs when
