Ok so I only had one tap open with one video that plays some relaxing music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9YHBUef9OM. This was the only thing I had open and when I checked the memory usage it was at 891,276 K which is a lot for just one video on you tube to be playing and only one tab. Now i know this has been a major problems since the earlier versions of firefox. For me though it seems like the memory leak happens when ever flash is in use. So i'm just wondering if there is a alternative to flash or a flash replacement that I might be able to try?

Also I know that there is a setting in ff under config that would stop firefox from going over a certain amount of memory. I just can't remember what it was. Can someone please remember me what setting it was?

thank you

There is a Flash alternative called Shumway that Mozilla is planning on implementing soon but I, myself, am unaware of the release date. Shumway's been under development for about a year or so, maybe more. Flash sucks and crashes too much for users (I have problems with Flash too sometimes so I feel your pain). I'm looking forward to it. Thank you for reminding me to look up Shumway. I'll try it out and see if it works on the latest Firefox as a suitable Flash alternative. I haven't tried it in a while. You can try it yourself to see how it is but I don't think it's able to play videos yet.

Try disabling Hardware Acceleration to see if that helps your case

  1. Go to this Adobe Flash Player Help page.
  2. Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
  3. Click on Settings in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
  4. Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel.

    The image "fpSettings1.PNG" does not exist.
  5. Remove the check mark from Enable hardware acceleration.
  6. Click Close to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
  7. Restart Firefox.

This Flash Player Help - Display Settings page has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
