I'd be happy if the package didn't die and was updated at least from
time to time.
I did an initial configuration based on what I liked and I don't
expect to to change it for months.

Firefox uses a lot of RAM if you have a lot of windows/tabs open.

I have 18 instances of Firefox running. All with multiple tabs for
different projects. I use top a lot, but only with defaults and don't

%Cpu(s): 17.4
top -b -n 1 > top.txt
Not sure why the CPU% ages are so high. Webpages normally take only a 10%
or so per page.
GeckoMain = FF main thread.
Isolated Web C0 = various web pages.
top - 14:55:15 up 6 days, 16:01, 10 users, load average: 5.78, 6.13, 3.77

You can go into the firefox about:config and reduce the number of
threads to less. Too many threads seem to make the ram creep worse.
