Why the fuck does Firefox use almost 300MB of RAM when all I've done so far is open the program??

Because it's a poorly optimized memory hog.

To make it faster and more customizable than any other browser.

Why don't you post your add-on list, user?

Dunno whatcha talkin' about

It actually says 32 in the pic

For me, firefox always starts with more memory and tends to use less than most other browsers under load. Try again with 20 tabs and compare to chrome.

it might seem to you that you have "just opened empty tab", but in background firefox already contacted several servers on Amazon cloud and made DNS query for every website being frequently visited by you.

For one thing, it needs to load all your extensions and stuff into memory right on startup.
Some stuff, including Firefox itself, might run scheduled scripts and updates.

I find Firefox RAM usage actually decreases over time if you just leave it idle.

Are you a poorfag OP?

lol FF is unusable with even 10 tabs open

>Mac fag having stupid amounts of RAM and calling evryone poor

That's it? Mine uses several GB and it seems to think I have over 600 tabs open despite there being no way it's over 200.

Why would pinging a server require multiple megabytes of RAM?

I'm using 64 and it's at 220 megs with 1 tab open and only 2 extensions.

Excuse me?

ayy caramba que pasa amigo

Do you run out? If not what's the problem?

works on my machine

I use certain prominent tabs as benchmarks for where I am. It's really not that hard but I refuse to not do what I intended to do yet I'm too lazy to get it done.

Porn can really ramp up the tab usage periodically.
