Updated code (from this answer) with this casting (and looping changed to use ForEach-Object) is below. On the right side, double-click the Allow Microsoft Edge to start and load the Start and New Tab page at Windows startup and each time Microsoft. It’s even possible that further JS will work without page a reload, but I don’t remember how JS execution will be broken down into threads so not sure.- the generic System.Object type does not contain the CloseMainWindow method, but statically casting the type when collecting the ProcessList variable works for me. If the cause was some JS on the main page, that JS task will stop and the rest of the page will be unaffected. If for example the cause of the crash was an ad we’ll just get a blank area where the ad should have been, and everything else on the page will work fine. There’s a better solution for that purpose coming with Firefox 57 and Quantum’s webRender that will make it so that if a single tab should have crashed, instead of crashing the process it will just crash the thread it’s in, potentially leaving the rest of the page unaffected (let alone the other tabs in the process). Opening 150 processes would probably not be such a good idea anyway, but have you tried setting the about:config pref to 999 ? Maybe you should try making it so that background and pinned tabs don’t load automatically on startup, so even though you have 150 tabs from last session, only those you visited and actually loaded can crash ? Maybe you never close Firefox though. Now You: Have you tried Firefox with multiple content processes already? What's your takeaway? (via Sören Hentzschel) I ran a Firefox Nightly copy for months with four content processes, and the browser ran super stable in that time. It is normal behavior, so you don’t need to worry about this. ' Based on my experience, when running Microsoft Teams client on our computer, there are some background processes along with it. Further optimization may change the number from four to a higher number in the future. I received an answer to this on a different forum () from Amanda Zhang, MSFT. Mozilla believes that it has found the sweet spot between the number of content processes for Firefox's multi-process architecture and memory usage of the browser. It is advised to up-to-date your browser before you work on Firefox.

To make the things clear and how to solve these problems, this guide on ‘Firefox using a lot of memory (RAM)’ will be helpful. If it crosses the permissible limit, you may have to experience a Firefox crash. Over a day, If I start and exit 10 times, I have 10 firefox.exe 32 processes running at between 200,000 K and 500,000 K in memory. The Firefox Preloader utility has been installed and due to a Bug, the firefox.exe process continues in the background after unloading.

I'm using 50.0.2 and every time I exit firefox, the process still stays in memory. Another instance of Firefox is running, either as a result of using a 3rd-party utility, the -no-remote command line option or the SET MOZNOREMOTE system environment call. Mozilla hopes that the increase to four content processes will improve system stability further. Sometimes Firefox uses too much RAM that slows down the processes. firefox process remains in memory after closing. While you can set a high limit, for instance 50, it would mean that Firefox would use individual content processes for the first 50 sites or apps only, and re-use content processes for anything that is opened afterwards.

Mozilla's initial estimation was that multi-process Firefox would use about 20% more RAM than the non-multi-process browser.įirefox has no option currently to replicate Chrome's handling of content processes. If a profile is already locked, it means that the browser application has created a lock. Firefox would use significantly more memory if Mozilla were to enable the same system in the browser so that sites and services would all open up in their own content process. Does Running Multiple Profiles on Firefox Cause Firefox Not. One reason for that is that Chrome uses content processes for each site or service opened in the browser.
