Once or twice a week I shut down Firefox, and reopen it. As it saves all the open tabs, it drives down both CPU and memory usage, without losing my tabs. On Nov 16, 2014 6:34 PM, <self_same_self@yahoo.com> wrote:
What kind of plugins do you have? How many tabs and windows?

My desktop has been up for a week. I have a lot of firefox windows and many more tabs open. FF was getting sluggish.
It has taken 4k minutes of CPU. Not seconds. So that is about 10 hours of CPU per day.
Even quiting is taking a long time. About 10 minutes so far. At 99% of the CPU. Yuck. Maybe I'll kill it.
It is taking 8G of virtual memory and 4.5 G resident (according to top).
