system does not bloat, crash under Seamonkey
Looks like a 10yr old computer... How many tabs? Same issue with Firefox in Safe Mode? Also try downloading Firefox from Mozilla, run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release
old computer still faster than multi CPU laptops
one tab
one temporary solution is to about:memory free memory minimize memory usage
I wonder if there is a bad setting that decodes video in to RAM cache instead of flushing it. wuld rather flush or save to ssd
Galen Thurber modificouno o
forgot to mention firefox refresh has been tried, no fix
been trying disable extensions one at a time
seems to be the recommended extension Video DownloadHelper causing the issues I thought I had disabled it previously, damn
Glad to hear you found the issue. Mark is as resolved if you have no other questions and have a good day.
