Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

@[email protected] The amount of RAM Firefox consumes depends on several factors. It could be due to a misbehaving browser extension, a website issue (I remember Firefox eating a lot of memory when I stay on YouTube for too long, with that browser tab taking up around 8GB, and I only noticed it because my system warned me about low memory, even though I have 32GB of RAM), or the number of tabs you have open.
If you encounter this issue (when it uses 10GB of RAM), try opening a new tab and enter "about:memory" in the URL bar. Then click on "Show memory details" to get a comprehensive breakdown of each process and its RAM consumption. If you prefer a simpler view, you can use "about:processes" instead of "about:memory."
