[GTALUG] Firefox memory usage (was GTALUG Meeting on Tuesday 10 October at 7:30pm)

[ted leslie]

I hear yeah, I will be trying to get FF to  work as well as vivaldi and
chrome+GS for tab suspend/hibernate, will post what i find.
I have had probably 200+ tabs, for all I know hibernation/suspend could
handle many 1000's tabs, i will try for kicks.
Technically it saves very little for each tab once hibernated. I have a
work flow for having many stackoverflow (or similar) pages up, need for few
days, then
reduce them down to bookmarks if interested, or dump (most of) them.

"Chromium (AIUI Chrome only works on M$ systems) were perfect ", I don't
understand this statement.
Rarely get crashes, and when do , usually restart says, shutdown incorrect,
here are your tabs if you want. (viv, chrome, ff, all seem to do this).
