Hi Toon_, Firefox only uses about 200 MB of memory.

Everything else - extensions, themes, plug-ins, Content Blocking, hardware acceleration, tabs, etc. - are all on the User.

Firefox has a built-in Task Manager which will tell how much memory is being used by extensions and tabs.

Click Menu -> More -> Task Manager
