Whenever I have 2 tabs open, Firefox always takes up 2gb of ram. I already turned on minimum memory usage in about:memory and turned off hardware acceleration.

For context, my specs: 8gb ram i5 1240p (integrated graphics)

I know you're meant to use up all of your ram, but I typically have other apps pen to multitask.

Thank you

I believe that just logging into my Win11 laptop and not opening any apps that about 8 or 9gigs is used up by Windows. Let me go check.

You can get more details by visiting about:processes in the address bar (Shift+Esc). You can also close processes there to free up memory.
