Firefox accesses all available resources without preference.
Firefox accesses all available resources without preference.
You noticed some performance issues with your laptop. After checking the task manager, you saw Firefox using most of the CPU and RAM. It looked like Firefox was consuming all resources, but clearing data didn’t help much. The problem improved when you disconnected from Wi-Fi, tried loading a page in Firefox, and then reconnected. You’re planning to run a security scan later tonight. It’s understandable to feel worried, but based on what you’ve done so far, it seems minor. Keep an eye on the situation and consider the scan tomorrow.
Do you have Fast Boot enabled in Windows? This affects whether certain services restart automatically after a full shutdown versus a reboot. 2) Look for an update in Firefox by visiting Help -> about Firefox. I recall there was a recent release addressing a memory leak issue. 3) When many tabs are open, it might indicate extra memory allocation compared to what's actually used.
