Firefox uses too much RAM

[Judahnator]

I was looking in resource monitor, and i saw that firefox took up a ton of RAM.

 

Right now, i have two windows open. One with 6 tabs, the other with 3. They are things like twitter, google plus, gmail, ect. Nothing too memory intensive, but Firefox is using 1.4 GIGABYTES of available memory.

 

I have 8GB installed so im not too worried about it, but it is bothering me. Is there any quick fix?

This also bothers me, it's the one flaw I have with Firefox.

It uses more ram if you have more available. That's how it works for other browsers as well.

@Judahnator Try out Palemoon, it's a slightly optimized version of Firefox.
I've got two youtube videos running simultaneously and 5 windows with 23 tabs and I'm at just over one gb. I'm using 8GB as well.

It wont matter if you have that much free RAM.

It's odd. I had like 20 tabs open on Firefox, along with 4 different add ons, and Firefox consumed 611MB(average).

huh...

 

well since im not going to run out of RAM any time soon, i wont worry about it. I hope its fixed in the future though...

 

Thanks for the input :D
