I don't want to save recent tabs history
So, my problem is similar to: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=1464605 I use to open AND CLOSE many tabs, which ends up in huge memory usage, and finally crash. This happens every 15-20 mins, which is extremely annoying. And this doesn't happen to chrome.
So, there are 2 things that I would like: 1)Do not store the recently closed tabs. I don't need firefox to use memory for such a task. If I want to revisit a previous tab, I don't mind waiting a few more seconds. In other words, when opening and closing 50 tabs, I want the memory to decrease to the initial levels.
2)Another feature that would be useful: I would like firefox to have active only a few tabs (for example 10 or so) and, if you have more than that open, to make some tabs inactive (and when I click inactive tabs, they just reload). (I'm not sure, but I thing I have noted something similar when I open around 50 tabs). This will result to fewer active tabs, and less memory usage.
Some notes: I have already tried safe mode/ disabled addons, so don't bother suggesting it. My pc memory is 4Gb, but that's not the problem. The memory usage rarely reaches 60% when firefox crashes.

Thank you for your help!

Firefox does not use its own memory for that type of storage. The hard drive contains folders or files that FF goes thru when it needs to.

"Firefox does not use its own memory for that type of storage. The hard drive contains folders or files that FF goes thru when it needs to." Then how can you explain the continuously increasing memory usage, even after I close my opened tabs?
Anyways, the thing I asked is simple. If it's possible:
1) I don't want firefox to store recently closed tabs and use the memory for that purpose.
2) I want firefox to have only a few active tabs, and disable all other tabs to release memory (for example, if I have opened 50 tabs, have only 10 tabs active, and if I click on an inactive tab, reload it again).
The question I made is specifically these 2 requests. About the crashes and memory usage I've searched for hours and all the suggestions where similar to the answers you just gave (no offense) with no result at all.

Thanks for trying but... did you understand what I asked? I didn't just complain about high memory usage. The thing I asked is clear:
I just want to avoid this annoying characteristic of firefox: continuously increasing RAM usage even when I close all my tabs. I have to restart firefox (or wait to crash) in order to reset the RAM usage. That is basically what I asked.
And, as an extra, I asked if you know a way, if I have opened many tabs, to make inactive some of them to save memory.
And I don't want to use private browsing or disable addons... I've already said that I've tried FF without addons and the RAM didn't decrease much.
And, anyways, can someone answer why RAM usage is always continuously increasing when you open and CLOSE the tabs? If the recently closed tabs are saved to the hard drive and NOT to the RAM then that doesn't make sense.
Thanks again for your time.
