Thanks for the replies everyone :)
To answer your questions:
I do have Flash installed, along with Xine and Java, along with Pipelight.
That kinda sucks about FF keeping all "seen" sites in memory, because I pop back and forth between different sites CONSTANTLY during my day, some of which are pretty heavy (like our campus scheduling site that I admin.) So that would make sense, in a way, I guess. I thought that was the whole purpose of doing the whole "browser.tabs.remote = true" hack in about:config so that each tab was in a different process?
I thought the bfcache can still be manipulated in about:config but cannot find a reference at this moment.
That sucks that Adblock Plus is a part of that, because I have that installed, and it's really nice :/
I would recommend uBlock Origin meanwhile. It should be lighter on memory and better in performance compared to any AdBlock*
Out of curiosity, does anyone know why Firefox caches all of the pages in memory and then doesn't clean them up? That definitely seems like a bug to me, but I'm guessing they have some reason for it. (Maybe - you might come back to this page, so it'll load faster next time?) If that's the case, is there any way to turn that off?
I wasn't aware of that fact. I know there is the regular cache which can be controlled via about:config or preferences and there is the bfcache which keeps the full document loaded for the case when you use the "back" button. But this used to have limitations which I cannot find right now. Usually it just saves up to a certain number of pages until the history is removed from bfcache.
