It seems to have one memory slot occupied, one empty. Running Win10
64bit.

On my current notebook, which has 8GB and is running 64-bit W10, 414 MB is
reserved by hardware.

And Task Manager shows 7.8 GB is in use. Just doing browsing, and a couple
of Office apps.

Here on linux mint, I have browser, thunderbird, and an open Libre
Office writer session going, and its just 3,2GB - with another 3GB disk
cache.

Latest Firefox seems to have fixed the memory leak.


Why does Firefox use so much memory - over 1GB on a Mac? Chrome (my main
browser) and Safari use 100-200MB.
