I really doubt you and you dont provide any details about your setup either. I have exactly the same issues as the poster. I have about 20 tabs and it is costing 1.7GB ram. Note that I almost never reboot, so it may well be leaks, but even so, on eventual crashes, reloading my tabs is painfully slow.


Mac El Capitan, FirefoxDeveloperEdition (which iirc is basically equivalent to Firefox Beta), not many addons (Tab Groups, uBlock Origin, No More 404s). I can screenshot my Activity Monitor if that'd help?


At this exactly time I have 27 tabs, this is the memory usage:

  Image	PID	Hard Faults/sec	Commit (KB)	Working Set (KB)	Shareable (KB)	Private (KB)
  firefox.exe	10604	0	1,529,308	1,491,692	           62,348	1,429,344
I'm on Windows 7, 39 days and 5 hours up time.

This Firefox instance is running since: 8:05:29 AM 05/12/2016

Firefox 50 (with a pending update).

Also, I see the process as a 32-bits image but I was sure it was 64-bits, will need to check on this.

And I have only: Facebook Ads Block, Ghostery and uBlock Origin.

So being Windows 7 and probably an 32bits Firefox install may cause all this difference?
