KSysMonitor Screenshot
Memory usage looks fine to me i.e., parent/main process tends to use more than child processes (web content, extensions, etc). mozjemalloc (a heavily modified version of jemalloc) hasn't been ported to FreeBSD or any other BSD, so each "firefox" process uses more memory than on Linux.
If you want to reduce memory usage at the cost of performance try starting like
$ MALLOC_CONF="narenas:1,tcache:false" firefox
(In reply to Jan Beich from comment #1) Ah that would make sense, then. Thanks! I guess this can be closed. All the missing features are (supposed to be) documented in pkg-message. I've tried to port mozjemalloc long ago but gave up. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1153683 |
Created attachment 212485 [details] KSysMonitor Screenshot Firefox appears to be using an inordinate amount of RAM on 12.1-RELEASE-p2 with the latest pkg repo enabled. Attached screenshot is RAM usage with 6 tabs open: Reddit, GitHub, Resilio Sync Forums, Stack Exchange, Bugzilla, and Glances documentation. Is this expected?
