(Firefox handles out of memory better now and less crashes and tab crash isolation)

19 october 2022 by Skybuck Flying:

I can notice that Firefox has improved !

Less crashes due to out of memory problems !

I also noticed Firefox can now handle larger ammounts of memory like 5 GB !

It has become more efficient somehow... now it works better on a 6 GB system.

It used to crash around the 5.0 GB memory consumption right now the PC memory usage is at 5.27 GB and somehow it has not crashed yet. Almost feels like Firefox uses it's own virtual memory or it does not load pages on other tabs that have been opened but not visitted yet, though it does seem to allocate something.

Also when a tab crashes because of out of memory it doesn't take down the whole browser anymore but tries to isolate it to only the tab that crashed, this is a big improvement. Though sometimes the browser does still crash fully.

But I am seeing some good improvements and it is having an effect on the useability and reliability of Firefox !

Continue the good work on the memory system and exception handling and crash isolation etc !

For now I give you my complements !

Bye,
Skybuck Flying.
