      This needs to be configurable. I'd set mine to more than 30 minutes.

          Lift your tail to the FireFox. He may be able to handle it.

          Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

            :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I use it for YouTube, but found that other browsers are better at managing memory. Even right now FF only has 7 tabs open, but takes up 3600 MB. Vivaldi probably has over 100 tabs open (broken up into Workspaces for logical access), and only uses 1500 MB. I have always found a big discrepancy with FF that way. But 3 of those FF tabs are FB, so it isn't an even comparison that way, other than the fact that Vivaldi has so many more tabs open.
