With just one firefox window open, 2 tabs, both Konachan, Firefox has spawned 6 processes and is using 565Meg of memory, in fact firefox is sucking down 1/3 of the total memory currently being used....and I have VLC player running, Kaspersky AV, Skype, Foxit PDF Reader active, along with several background apps such as for my sports watch updater, printer control panel.....Firefox is now a pig, both for memory and processor resources. I can watch videos with VLC player all day, but bring up the same video in youtube and this old laptop overheats and shuts down.
One firefox window, 6 tabs, each tab use up to 350meg of memory, and like you said video on youtube are either stuttering or lagging.
The last major update really was a bad one.
