Again on the memory consumption:

My main notebook with Crux Linux has 2 GB of memory.  It  runs  a
Firefox 8 (yes, I know ...) with 3 windows and in total 1400 open
tabs. (That's a lot of tabs, I know, but that's how it works best
for me.) The Firefox uses 1.2 GB of memory.

My office notebook with Windows 7 has 8 GB or memory. It  runs  a
Firefox  63  with one window and 60 open tabs. It uses about 4 GB
of memory.  When I had 150 tabs open, recently, I  got  ``Out  of
memory:  tab  crashed''  popups every once in a while. Not at all
would it be possible to have ten times (!) as many tabs open  ...
although the system has four times as much memory.


As a sidenote: I had to install a browser plugin [0] just to find
out the number of open tabs.
