FIREFOX HAS USED 32GB OF MY 64GBs! WHEN WILL THEY PUT A CAP ON MEMORY USAGE?
it got to the point that I had the OS cap it
Well on Linux we use all the ram we have and give it free when needed
yeah, so hypothetically, yes, but when I'm running scripts, frequently their memory usage can cause my computer to freeze if I don't immediately have that memory available. and those are the actual reason I need 64GB, not feeding Firefox's insatiable hunger for RAM.
