Does anyone have this issue were firefox becomes slow if left open for a long time. In my case after a couple of weeks rendering becomes slow and when I use youtube for example if is laggy, just trying to change volume taka few second to show the volume bar. It also happens to my laptop at work. I have around 30 tabs open.
Dawg I had like ~35 tabs open and hadn’t restarted my PC in over three weeks. Fucking Firefox was sucking back 80 gigs of RAM. 80 fucking gigs.
On the bright side all the tabs were still loaded when I clicked through them.
I’ve seen poorly made websites taking gigabytes of RAM before. It’s not firefox’ fault they do that.
I can’t wait for Servo to be finished so I can move away from Firefox, it uses way too much memory.
Servo won’t protect you against shitty websites gobbling up memory.
