After I upgrade from 56.0.2 to 57.0.2, I found that every time I wake computer from sleep status the memory will increase a lot. For example, the usage of the whole computer was 11.6GB before sleep, but increase to 17GB after I wake it up. I have to restart the firefox to solve the problem. In addition, I also found after I delete the browsing history, both memory and CPU usage will increase rapidly and continuously. The other thing is the previous version, I suffered serious memory leak problem and get fixed in the version 57.

Well when you delete everything. You send SessionRestore into a tail spin as it wants to write data to the file and.

Please check 57.0.1 fix took : go to the Firefox 3 Bar Menu --> Options --> Privacy & Security panel and under Permissions check the setting to Prevent Accessibility Services from accessing your browser. Restart Firefox

If was not ticked and fixed issue, do nothing more. If not :

You could try this please : Go the 3 Bar Menu then Options --> General --> Performance and untick everything. change the recommended size lower then see how it runs. Note: 1 = No Multiprocessor = slow again. Try 2 Restart Firefox after making these changes please.

If you use Adblock Plus then you can consider uBlock Origin as a replacement to see if that works better (lower memory footprint).

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
