Re: [FireFox] Mozilla targeting Memory Leaks in FFx Add-Ons

said by Grail Knight:

Perhaps you should adjust the setting to allow Fx to release memory on minimize (if you have not done so already).

Google Fx memory settings and you should find what I am talking about.

Why is that not on by default anymore (was it ever?).

If you read what that particular setting does it is actually better to let Fx retain memory vs. releasing it. It does depend on other factors tho such as number of tabs open, addons in use, etc...
