I hate this phrase. On my linux pc firefox with a single tab open keeps eating up all my memory after a while so I asked on reddit and they all repeat that shit. So stupid its obviously a memory leak since the memory only gets freed once you close firefox and wait a couple minutes. Meanwhile it blocks other shit from being used.
>>
>>108958252
You should reinstall Firefox. I know modern browsers are notorious memory hogs, but your shit is seriously broken.

Also OP is retarded, using unused RAM to pre-cache files is smart. You can just drop this cache as soon as the RAM actually becomes used. I don't understand how this concept is so difficult to understand for brainlets.

Isn't this what linux does as well? I remember seeing a bunch of yellow bars in RAM when I ran htop and I think that's virtual memory (not swap, but where most used applications are preloaded into RAM).

Something insanely fucky wucky is going on with your PC. I'm streaming a sports game on Firefox with 5 other tabs open, file manager open, terminal open, and I'm at 2.8gb with GNOME on Fedora which is a pretty bloated distro in Linux terms. I've had Firefox open all day too.

I have a 4g PC for browsing with 6tabs Firefox, ShareX and AIMP opened at pretty much all times and my Win's using 2.2g.
Sounds like skill issue and fake news to me.

>>108957824
it's not, always look at the ram pressure. It allocates it for quicker access because unused ram are wasted ram, so it tries to utilize that for you

Also don't ask why firefox constantly writes files to your ssd, unudued ssd is wasted ssd just buy another every 2 years.
