Almost two gigabytes.
How many mozilla app instances is that?
One.
Makes 2G usage seem exorbitant.
How many tabs? How many windows?
A few, most of them not loaded.
As in less than 10? Seems more exorbitant.
How old is the history?
Not much. This profile I created a month or two ago. Why would history matter?
It probably should matter de minimus in a young profile, but history does get a lot of edits.
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.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-counter-webext/ indicates otherwise.
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.
That may contribute to or be the problem. Mozilla RAM usage rarely takes any of my time, while I see others regardless of distro complain about it more than a little. The difference between is I rarely run any but static builds. What build types are Firefox, TB and Rust developers using? Maybe it's mainly mere mortal users who "test" .rpms and .debs, and/or devs don't keep any running long enough to gauge what happens in release world usage. http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla:/alpha/ & http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla:/beta/ are void of 15.1 directories. You can test a Mozilla build of same version using the exact same profile without corrupting it in any way. I've gone both ways lots of times over the years, though not in a while. I wouldn't expect the safety to have been affected. Even if it was, backups can be restored. ;-) -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.
