Lou K, just install the FF FlashBlock extension, and don't load the Flash until you're actually going to view it. That made FF infinitely more usable for me, as I generally have about 50 tabs open all the time. Flash is the killer; JS is generally ok I've found, once Flash was handled.

@Lou K. Saw Ff xt #9429 here at LH: http://tinyurl.com/5vuhjl Was primed for picking a potential solution up after I had previously sought to find one in vain.

Subsequent citation should appeal to you: “… every tab you push to the TooManyTabs row frees up memory by turning the tabs you shelve into idle tabs”

My problem isn’t so much RAM usage but CPU – I usually keep between 60-80 tabs open and somewhere in there are a bunch of javascript and flash scripts running continuously. It’d be nice if one could “put them to sleep”, as described here –

and I added a bit more here, adding another potential solution –

Glad I could help Todd. I’m gonna increase my browser.sessionstore.interval even more now that you’ve had good results with it. Firefox is still taking up a lot of virtual memory on my Mac.
