Hi Toon_, Firefox only uses about 200 MB of memory.

Everything else - extensions, themes, plug-ins, Content Blocking, hardware acceleration, tabs, etc. - are all on the User.

Hi Slippin' Cheese, How can I find out then which of these components use what amounts of memory ?

Click Menu -> More -> Task Manager
