      That’s why my main desktop has 32GB and my laptop 16. We’re at the point that these are minimum comfortable amounts.

      I use Auto Tab Discard, have all except 10 tabs unloaded and FF has 5.5 GB reserved, just in case.

        I have currently 13 tabs open and I don’t see the issue. RAM is there to be used. I actually expect my programs to extensively cache stuff and use the RAM.

        (The other Firefox processes for the individual tabs are cut from the screenshot.)

            How can you only have 15 Tabs open?

            I use bookmarks and close tabs I don’t need any longer.

          Nah, RAM has to be reserved and can’t then be used by other programs until given free. That’s why, cache data and only use RAM for currently running and speed-critical stuff.

        Fellow Auto Tab Discard ejoyer, I salute you.

        Joke aside I recommend this extension if you have a tendency to have a shitton of tabs opened
