Unfortunately this page doesn't help a lot. In fact, nothing helps, also not the "RamBack" add-on. It's a bug that firefox has, and it's very, very annoying.
Closing a ff tab or window does not set free the used memory. Each and every page you load, adds new used memory - and there it stays "for ever".
I use to go thru link lists of photo pages, opening links in a new window, then after viewing closing this window and opening the next one from the link list. The link list is the only one that always stays open and it contains nothing but a list of "<a href..." html, no scripts, no ajax, no nothing.
Still, with each opened window the memory consumption rises. Soon it gets to 1, 2, 3 GB and then ff gets really extremely slow, although I have 16 GB memory. Well, not I, but my computer.
Only after closing *all* ff windows, memory gets released, and then the game starts again....
I searched a lot, but found no solution.
Thank you for sharing your experiences, Daniel. I've always found FF to be 'sluggish' but not unbearably so, and this latest behavior is new ... especially the ~1.9GB RAM consumption. I'm testing disabling and selectively enabling extensions today and tomorrow. I'll report back what I find.
