I haven't experienced that. What is the use-case that makes this happen? I have one machine with only 8 gig and firefox is fine, and a 16 and 32 gig machine, firefox has never eaten 8 gigs
What they mean is "I use woefully malformed websites loaded up with all sorts of weird shit that eats ram on the regular, and somehow that's my browser's fault"
I'm on Debian. Firefox is reporting ~6% memory usage. At 192gb RAM (go brrrrr), that is over 11 gigs.
No idea what it's doing. I got Gmail open and YouTube open. I have ublock origin and keepass browser extensions.
I have a VPS with 1 GB of RAM and Firefox with up to 3 tabs is fine. OK, it's running Linux maybe FF on Windows is worse.
