Ok I guess I'll go and fuck myself then.

Update your firefox or close one of your billion tabs >.>

Maybe go and double your ram? Then you can have twice as many tabs open :)

Edit: never mind. Ram is expensive AF right now

@b3b3 i have 32gig, so this is not really a problem. Still dumb how you need this kind of ram just to look at text and pictures (exagerating, of course).

@jobylie I'm asking myself right now what exactly uses that much ram. If the internet sites were this big they would take ages to load 🤔 does Firefox open an instance of itself with each opened tab?
On Linux when having a look at the task manager you can see like 50 processes from Firefox

@b3b3 that might be a possible explaination. I had about 40 tabs open at that time.

@b3b3 AFAIK (and I read somewhere), Firefox uses independent process to handle the tabs (not sure about extensions) but they do something like a mixed approach (as I barely remember the example that I read in the "somewhere" mentioned before):

Let's assume that we have 4 tabs open, so FF allocates each tab in a process, and, when we open a 5th tab, it will be allocated on Process0; and if we open a 6th, it goes to Process1, and so on... I can't remember right now on which moment FF will instantiate a 5th process, and the 6th, etc...

As I mentioned before, I read about it "somewhere" a while ago, but, I'll do a quick search through my bookmarks/Pocket account to see if I can locate that article

@b3b3 a little bit late...

This is the article that I mentioned yesterday (the drawings made the trick to remember it): https://medium.com/mozilla-tech/...

And, after a re-read, I must admit that I was (somewhat) wrong, because it seems (as far as the article let us know) that there are/were by default only 4 processes, but I've read on GHacks that it's possible to change that value so it may still a chance that redeem myself haha
