Is someone going to fix time increasing huge memory consuming in Firefox. The newer it becomes, the more memory leaks it gets!!! WTF I'm asking? It consumes memory even whey I just walk on the pages. No add-ons want to fix the issue. I think it's well known issue to describe it more detail.

Sorry to hear that you are having memory leak issues in Firefox.

Please view this Mozilla support article for some steps that can help to reduce Firefox's memory usage on your system:

Thanks.

Unfortunately neither of the topics helps in general. I have 32GB installed on my PC and I had a case when Firefox consumed about a half of it. I am a programmer as well and I feel it's an abnormal situation case when a program consumes such big about of memory. Anyway it should be adjusted by default to work pretty correctly. I like to have 20-30 pages opened simultaneously but I don't see it should be a cause of such issues. Perhaps it's a plugin, perhaps something else e.g. technology used. Chrome has a tendency to consume huge amount of memory as well for example. Anyway I am sure it has to be fixed.

If you file a bug report with as much detail as possible on Bugzilla, the Firefox developers can certainly take a look at the issue and see if there is something that needs to be adjusted in future versions of Firefox.
