Because you're dumb enough to use firefox

Close all but 1 and make it a blank tab.

You'll realize that its not the tabs. Stop being a retard. Its a memory leak. Firefox has had memory leaks since forever.

What's the point of having RAM if it doesn't get used????

>Close all but 1 and make it a blank tab.

RAM utilization went down to 800 MB of RAM

with stylish, abp, greesemonkey, https everywhere and a whole bunch of other shit

7 tabs
using tampermonkey, stylish, ublock origin, https everywhere

you lie

Share your setting for getting low RAM usage, plz sempais

I've got 20 tabs open, including 2 youtube playing at the same time.
The fuck are you doing man.

...

50+ tabs open

Chrome would shit its self.

>Ubuntu fonts

Use about:memory for lowering the memory usage a bit.

We're in 2016. Who cares about memory?
~$ free -h
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 15G 3.6G 10G 226M 1.2G 11G
Swap: 0B 0B 0B

Everybody on a laptop? Lazy people?

>Why does firefox want to keep everything in memory for fast access rather than thrashing my solid state drive with useless reads and writes

I'll take a wild guess and blame the extensions you've installed.

Huh, I didn't know about that. Mine was set to something crazy like 15000 for some reason. That's like fucking 4 hours. Pointless. I put it up to once every 60 seconds instead.

Install Vivaldi

This.

That's a shame, OP. Quite a shame.

Tragic, even.

Only Chromebros will get the joke.

I don't have this problem.

what about the chrome task manager?
