Firefox 141 Release Brings Lower RAM Usage on Linux

Last time I asked Which site / problems don't work on Firefox ?

>Some forms just break in Firefox for me. I’ve been applying to a lot of tech companies, and roughly 10% of their application forms fail in Firefox but work fine in Chrome. I can’t figure out why it’s inconsistent. Even some CAPTCHA and payment pop‑ups won’t load.

>Most browser games(I play an absolute shit ton) run WAY better on chrome than Firefox, on both macOS and Android. Not sure about Windows where I play full real games.

>Home Depot. They never test against Firefox, so most of their pages are a dumpster fire.

>Memory hog on Linux

Firefox 141 Release Brings Lower RAM Usage on Linux

Great, this can't happen fast enough for me. Now to be fair, I stress Firefox's memory usage by having a metric shit-ton of windows and tabs open simultaneously. But that aside, any improvements in memory usage will be greatly welcomed here.

eMPee584•6mo ago
Also, here's a few settings to limit memory growth for your about:config / prefs.js:

  // Enable automatic tab unloading (true by default on windows & mac os)
  user_pref("browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory", true);
  
  // tab unloading enabled when free memory drops below either
  user_pref("browser.low_commit_space_threshold_mb", 8192);
  user_pref("browser.low_commit_space_threshold_percent", 30);
  
  // time in milliseconds (so 15min) to wait before kicking tabs out
  user_pref("browser.tabs.min_inactive_duration_before_unload", 900000);
  
  // visibility 
  user_pref("browser.tabs.fadeOutUnloadedTabs", true);
  user_pref("browser.tabs.fadeOutExplicitlyUnloadedTabs", true);

And here's a one-liner (courtesy of deepseek-v3) to conveniently show current free memory ratio in percent to make an informed choice about what value to put in:

   awk '/MemTotal:/{total=$2} /MemAvailable:/{available=$2} END{printf "%.1f%%\n", (available / total) * 100}' /proc/meminfo

Is that not the case on Linux?
