[FRIAM] firefox and memory

[Marcus Daniels]

Don't know, my new Windows 10 machine and my relatively new Macbook Air are obviously much faster.   At least as fast as Chrome.

Since 57.0.2 installed itself on my (4 year old W7Professional) machine, Firefox has run
*much* *slower*.  Bah, humbug.

In the resource manager I noticed that where it used to open one process, sometimes as large as half a gig, it now opens several processes, the total of which can easily exceed 1 G.  At that point, my machine runs like molasses.  Is Firefox no longer browser to the stars?
