Hey All,
I'm using the latest version of firefox 57.02 64 Bit Edition and I'm noticing allot of System Processes are hogging my system memory, If I close them off it effects the program in general.
In the years I've used firefox Ive never experienced this before.
Any ideas on what to do?
Thanks
Rob

Re: Firefox Process Problem
64bit Firefox is now a multi process program.

Report the problem and be sure to read the section about a memory use bug.
As for what you can try,
As for what you can try,
- Open the Options Page (about:preferences).
- Into the search box, enter performance settings
- In the search results, uncheck "Use recommended performance settings". From the drop-down list that's revealed, lower the Content Process Limit.
- Restart Firefox.

It looks like to MS "Idle" means "not doing anything." When the "System Idle Process" is at 100%, that means nothing is using your CPU

Re: Firefox Process Problem
Firefox is using RAM.

I see no issue.
Close FF & see if its RAM usage doesn't disappear .
