We all know that Firefox is a memory hog? Not necessarily in a bad way. I’ve got about 25+ tabs open. I understand that takes a lot of memory. My problem is that I’ll open Firefox and won’t close it for days. Eventually, it just locks up and I have to kill it. I can tell it’s about time for Firefox to crash (see the stats in this top screenshot).
How much memory is Firefox taking on your system, how many tabs do you have open, and how long do you keep it running?

WTF???? lets make is short:
68 MB, 7 tabs open right now. rarely crashes.
Yeah, I have the same issue. Lots of tabs + lots of days = system stability issues. This is with Ubuntu Linux. I don’t run any windows systems for lots of days like this.
