    You got it wrong actually. Firefox is not really actively using all the ram. It’s more like reserving it. The system does that too. When the actual used RAM gets low, Firefox releases some of this unused RAM.

      Both you and @SaltyIceteaMaker are completely wrong. There is no such thing as “reserving” memory.
