    Alternatively you can open about:config and limit memory usage there. For example limit in-memory cache.

    EDIT: it seems firefox doesn’t allow to set RAM limits yet, only cache sizes

      That’s good to know, I don’t know how well it would work though I feel like I enabled something about closing background tabs to reduce memory load (it might have been what you said, it might have been something else I don’t really remember) and it helped a little bit but it still ended up chewing up a lot of memory.

      Setting the limit though did help immediately. And stop the overconsumption problems, occasionally a couple of tabs crash here and there but it doesn’t freeze or worse cause other apps to slow down and freeze. Which did happen before.
