Why is Firefox Using 2 Gigabytes of RAM?

0

I have version 26.0. Firefox uses 2 gigabytes of RAM minimum with only one tab open. I've tried uninstalling add-ons, disabling plug-ins, everything, but nothing helps. What do I do?

Have you tried deleting the profile itself? This a new problem? – Ramhound – 2014-02-02T00:00:25.023

Only on my new laptop, never had it before. How do I delete the profile? – kookman98 – 2014-02-02T00:02:21.017

1The Mozilla website has the information you seek – Ramhound – 2014-02-02T00:05:09.883

I don't know what that did, but it did it. – kookman98 – 2014-02-02T00:09:20.400

Please define "everything". Did you try using Safe Mode already?

open about:memory and export this int a textfile, upload it to pastebin and post a link- – magicandre1981 – 2014-02-02T08:40:02.870

Personally I would upgrade to FF 27 and see what that does for you – Bmize729 – 2014-02-07T04:33:44.713

As stated in comments to the question and as suggested by Ramhound, deleting the Firefox user profile solved the problem for the OP.
