> I am not sure about the memory consumption, but since Chrome seems to have solved this topic, also Firefox should be able to, and maybe it's also time for me to switch back?
The reason I never promoted Chrome/ium to my "main" browser, instead using it sporadically whenever I decided I wanted to look at a page that use Flash is basically because Chrome is extremely RAM and CPU hungry in use cases where the number of user tabs are high (not sure what the tipping point is, but I regularly have more than 100 tabs present in my browser -- granted, not necessarily loaded).
Restoring a session with that many tabs basically disables the computer if using Chrome, necessitating a coffee break while pages load. Electrolysis in Firefox retains the lower RAM and CPU usage of the single process model, and also happens to feel much snappier day to day - I would absolutely recommend that you give the latest nightlies a shot -- or Firefox Aurora, which prompts users to turn it on: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis#Schedule
