Have you tried using multi-process tabs? http://www.ghacks.net/2014/02/13/firefoxs-multi-process-arch...

It looks like the prefs to enable it have been shipping beyond the nightly and are in the latest release.

I didn't know about this. Hopefully it's stable.

EDIT: looks fairly stable. Back to Firefox.

Oo neat I didn't know this was an option for FF

Multi-process Firefox (aka Electrolysis or just e10s) is till under development. If you want to test it, I recommend using Firefox Nightly (34) because it has recent e10s bug fixes and its File menu has a "Open e10s Window". You can test e10s and non-e10s windows without flipping an about:config pref or restarting Firefox. You can flip the optional pref browser.tabs.remote.autostart to true to enable e10s by default, which also enables extra "shims" for add-on compatibility so more add-ons will work than with "New e10s Window".

Do you think this might solve some of the stability (memory) issues so many people have been seeing since the last release?
