FF 42.0 installed, Win 7 Home Premium 64 Bit, 16G RAM. Been testing the FF Private browsing and below is with such enabled. Browser opened over 24 hours (which will cause usage to climb), 39 Tabs open, many hours of streamed flash video been played (which will cause usage to climb) .... peak working memory 1,538,936 K ..... working memory 1,295,184 K. This is typical usage for me (I normally have 35-50 tabs open). Luck LTBH PS My preliminary feelings on FF private browsing is I like it very much but do wish BetterPrivacy was not disabled by this version so that I could double check that no LSOs have been set (they must be disabled via Adobe).
