Firefox Process Problem

[RobCharles1981]

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

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,

1. Open the Options Page (about:preferences).
2. Into the search box, enter performance settings
3. In the search results, uncheck "Use recommended performance settings". From the drop-down list that's revealed, lower the Content Process Limit.
4. Restart Firefox.

Are you lookin at the System Process ?

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

No Its the Memory eating firefox,

I went into the options of the program to improve the performance and nothing has changed!

This seems to be the only Photobucket fix which still works, Dan: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefo ... r/?src=api

or

if that wont help its your system and/or (mostz probable) antivirus program.

Firefox is using RAM.

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