Massive memory usage

I have a HUGE problem with Firefox memory usage. Some open instances of firefox are taking anywhere from 600mb to 2.8gb of memory. Since firefox opens MANY instances even with only ONE active window, this very quickly uses all available memory (4gb) causing a full laptop crash.

More concerning is that CLOSING the worst instance of memory usage STILL leaves the single open page/tab open, so what exactly was the memory eating instance actually doing ???

I have included a screengrab of the many remaining instances of firefox in windows task manager AFTER closing the main culprit.

I have also included a screengrab of all the adblockers I use which I believed would limit unnecessary memory usage, but does not seem to be effective.

Many Thanks

That's right. It gets worse for people who have the unfortunate habit of using multiple content blockers, not better. The undue memory usage will also be higher when enabling more filter lists. For you it's enough to use uBlock Origin only.

For real the Windows Task Manager screenshot doesn't say anything helpful. Try to open about:processes page, at least it shows where memory goes.
