yeah... really it's a webdev problem. every web developer assumes nigh-infinite resources, including the ones who make the nightmare javascript frameworks that everyone fuckin uses. must be even worse if you don't have adblock...
Try the Tab Unloader add-on. Rather than deal with the agony of closing tabs you want to read later, it just unloads them from memory after a few minutes of inactivity. You could have hundreds all stacked up and basically taking up no resources!
Hey firefox, how's it goin?
:yea:

I've never seen FF use anywhere near that much memory. Could be a larger issue with your system. Though I also compulsively close unused tabs
It's probably largely my fault - I leave tabs open and have multiple google web apps up at the same time.

Hot damn that is a game changer. Thanks for the rec and also enabling my bad browser habits.
Happy to help!
