And here we have evidence (middle high-blob of CPU on the left) of Firefox just losing it and crashing, but only after nearly locking up my system.

Also: Firefox, how can you take up SO MUCH memory on your own? wandering.shop/media/6xf-01ub_

@aldobelus It's 58.0.1, so yes, I think so?

@hummingrain Yep, this version number is Quantum. It's strange, the new version is, supposedly, lighter than the previous ones...

@hummingrain I mean, that is a light version! Or at least, this is what Mozilla says!

@aldobelus For whatever it's worth, I only ("only") have 4GB of RAM on this laptop. Seems like it should be enough for 5-10 tabs, though. :\

@hummingrain This is not a normal behavior. "Something" is happening...
