After Firefox has been running for a few days my Debian 12.5 gets
really slow. The mouse jerks when it works at all. It takes a minute
or two for wndows to close or top. At the moment, Firefox has 19
processes running. Memory is half full, and swap is about 10% used.
When I kill Firefox and restart, things go back to normal for a few
hours.
What alternatives that aren't such pigs do you recommend?
FF used to behave like that for me, but the current ESR release from
Mozilla no longer does that. You haven't said what version of FF you're
using, or anything about your hardware or software environment. So it's
pretty difficult to say anything else.
Firefox 115.140esr (64-bit) from Debian. I don't like to install
software from other sources because it frequently results in a mess of
version incompatibilities.
Intel Core i3 530 that claims to run at 2.93 GHz, but /proc/cpuinfo
reports varying CPU clocks between 1.2 and 2.2 GHz, but all have the
same bogomips.
Gigabyte H55M-S2P motherboard.
Both RAM sockets have 4 GB installed, but dmidecode says only one is
working. Hmmm.
If you install and run fastfetch, what does that show for the RAM?
