I haven't experienced that. What is the use-case that makes this happen? I have one machine with only 8 gig and firefox is fine, and a 16 and 32 gig machine, firefox has never eaten 8 gigs
I have a VPS with 1 GB of RAM and Firefox with up to 3 tabs is fine. OK, it's running Linux maybe FF on Windows is worse.
What they mean is "I use woefully malformed websites loaded up with all sorts of weird shit that eats ram on the regular, and somehow that's my browser's fault"
