For a long time now I have used Firefox, since 1.0 days. It's also always been a RAM hog for me, yes I am one of those people. It's also, at least for awhile been having freeze/skipping issues, where everything from clicking a button, scrolling, to videos would freeze, then go, then freeze.
Now I figured I have to live with this because I have

And I also have 42 Stylish Scripts installed as well (even though I believe those don't take as much). And I also have 8 to 15 tabs open at any giving time, and my Firefox only restarts if I install something new.
So I came to expect my Firefox to run between 300MB to 1GB at any giving time. The last week I have been fine tuning the scripts, replacing bulky addons with better ones if possible, making sure I have the least amount of them as well. I also found an amazing addon called Memory Fox which I think did most of the work. Don't know what it does. But with that addon and everything else I have fiddled with, I am running between 5MB to 150MB at any giving time now. It's been running nice and smooth like a charm the past 3 days now, I don't know if it will always last, but its awesome.
