This is becoming a very annoying issues anymore. When I have like anything over 10 tabs open FF makes windows go crazy and it locks up my entire PC.

You are still using an hdd in 2022?
How much RAM do you have?
It's like $50, holds 2 TB of data, and runs fast. What else would I need?
Hybrid HDDs are not that good https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/tperq8/what_happened_to_sshds_or_hybrid_drives_were_they/
You can get a 1 TB SSD for $50 and have fast speeds all of the time. Do you really need 2TB?
8 gb ram, it's an old laptop from 2013
Likely what is happening is it uses all your RAM, which then overflows onto your super slow storage. You could potentially prolong the life of your current laptop by putting an SSD in. I don't know if other browsers will use RAM in a better way
This might be the culprit
if its the original hard drive, then your hard drive is probably the real bottle neck. upgrade to an ssd and the computer will be usable for years.
I have a somewhat pricey gaming laptop with 16GB and Firefox will frequently eat up nearly half of it. It also will light up my CPU to the point where my fans kick on like I'm playing cyberpunk 2077 on ultra ray-tracing. I'm about ready to ditch it, also.
:soviet-huff: the hells wrong with hdds?
theyre fine for storage, but if youre running an operating system the OS should be on an SSD or youre gonna have a bad time. HDDs were a bottleneck for a long time. I just got rid of a computer made in 2013 that was still usable thanks to the SSD.
it's not that bad if the OS can cache properly, RAM pressure and bootups are only slow for me on an old hdd
thats the wisdom id heard and i am running my os offa SSD i was just curious if there was new reasons to dislike the old ways/bigger improvements in ssds
