Using Firefox on Windows 11 and it is taking 10GB of RAM. it’s slow and hangs so I cant use it.
Firefox on Android is awesome: fast and responsive!
Why does it take so much RAM on Windows but works very well on Android with 2GB of RAM?

@[email protected] The amount of RAM Firefox consumes depends on several factors. It could be due to a misbehaving browser extension, a website issue (I remember Firefox eating a lot of memory when I stay on YouTube for too long, with that browser tab taking up around 8GB, and I only noticed it because my system warned me about low memory, even though I have 32GB of RAM), or the number of tabs you have open.
If you encounter this issue (when it uses 10GB of RAM), try opening a new tab and enter “about:memory” in the URL bar. Then click on “Show memory details” to get a comprehensive breakdown of each process and its RAM consumption. If you prefer a simpler view, you can use “about:processes” instead of “about:memory.”
