I can't make any sense out of a multi-line-wrapped mess like that.
Blame Thunderbird entirely for that. When I wrote it it was long lines in columns perfectly readable. On sending, they were wrapped. One issue is a bug: enigmail PGP/Mime has broken recently, and the alternative breaks long lines. 2nd issue is they have broken many extensions, specifically one that allowed long lines disabling wrapping.
Just add up each "Web Content" of the RES column, and the master "firefox" entry line.

Almost two gigabytes.
How many mozilla app instances is that?
One.
How many tabs? How many windows?
A few, most of them not loaded.
How old is the history?
Not much. This profile I created a month or two ago. Why would history matter?
What's being compared to what? I listed 300 or more tabs across 7 windows from 4 app PIDs up to 112 hours old using very old profiles with abundant history.
I'm not comparing. I simply use "top" to analyze the real memory usage.
I don't think 2GB is too much if the tab count and history are huge.
Well, it is a high percent of the machine. Actually, I created a new FF profile to start again with minimal tab usage. Maybe less than a hundred. No way to count them, except manually.
What may make a difference is whether builds are static or not. All running in my previous post are Mozilla's static builds. I have 12 Firefox profiles and as many installed versions. My ability to utilize openSUSE's Mozilla rpms is severely limited. I couldn't be closing one version in order to open another even if I could have multiple rpms installed at once.
I use the official openSUSE rpm, as always. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.1 (Legolas))
