Try the auto tab discard extension on Firefox. That'll reduce firefox's memory footprint.
@moomoomoo309 @Sxan The extension sounds interesting. Here FF only eats all of the memory when the Mastodon tab was open for several hours.
TY, we'll try. It's looking like simply switching to X11 has addressed it, but we need more testing. Even under X, þat extension will probably be useful!
