[Bug 1499138] Re: Firefox versions since 28.0 need too much memory

[Scott Cowles Jacobs]

Well, I installed Lubuntu 15.10, and Firefox is now up to 42.

I read somewhere that the ad-blocking plugin uBlock Origin used much less memory than Adblock Plus, and 
decided to try that.
I am now able to use the latest Firefox.  At last.

Something in Firefox versions AFTER 28 uses considerably more memory than version 28,
as all versions since crash upon attempting to load all my windows/tabs.

It might be worth it to find out exactly what that is, as I cannot imagine that I am the only person
who has had problems like I described, and if FF can be made more efficient with memory usage, it would help
everybody.
