If you have many open tabs in firefox, and especially if you leave them open for a long time (overnight anyone?) then you have experienced memory usage of hundreds of megabytes. Personally, I’ve seen it as high as 800mb and higher.
An add-on called AFOM seems to have solved this issue. I’ve installed it and then let loose with my 20+ tabs. Worked for a while and checked my memory. It was at 130mb. Wow!
I immediately wrote this post to share it with you. Check it out yourself.

I had no idea! When I'm doing research I often leave lots of tabs open — maybe not overnight, but certainly through a full day's work.
Good to have a solution to a problem I didn't yet know I had.
