configuration configuration configuration
i have recently been forced to find an essentual extention "Auto Tab Discard" for this task
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/auto-tab-discard/all though similar functionality is aparently achievable by altering about:config settings , ... by limeting the number of subprocesses ect
on systems with 4gb or less this is imho essentual , to avoid crashing browser or hung/infiatly swaping system ( or though ther are probably some other config options for tuning those cases
)
if any one care's to rescue old hardware before it goes to
landfill *silicon heaven
or just want's to resist the advice paradoxic advice browser makers give users "Upgrade your computer"
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-or-cpu-resources#w_upgrade-your-computer"things you can do to have a safe, fast and secure online browsing experience is to make sure your browser is up to date." -
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browsers/update-your-browser/oddly it appears the defauts encorage hardware upgrade
as the best practice for "better performace" , rather than profiling older less perforant systems and ajusting the default config acordingly
who knows perhaps this will happen when AIG starts deciding browser defaults configurations

in the past its seams some browsers are expected to run on high end hw or crash by default
with "Auto Tab Discard" on a system with 4gb ram , i now have 200+ (sleeping)tabs and no shoratage of cpu or ram
