Kill it and restart it occasionally. If you keep a lot of tabs open, then either avoid visiting too many of them at one time, or close some of the less frequently visited ones. Avoid stepping through the open tabs with Ctrl-PageUp/Down, as that consumes more memory with each tab. Instead, click on the ▽ button in the extreme topright corner, which lists all the tabs, then select the one you want. You can also close tabs, with ×, from this list. With only 8GB + ½GB of swap, I restart FF every morning, carrying over about 150 tabs in one window and half-a-dozen in another at present. Cheers, David.
