according to Mozilla, Firefox 85.0.1 32-bit requires 512 MB of RAM.
Well, Firefox is currently using 800MB of RAM for me and 5GB of virtual RAM. It's the most memory hungry process I'm running. I don't even have that many tabs open. Only about 20.
Browsers leak. Utter sh!tware they are. Bloated. Bad quality control.
Tried Puppy Linux? http://puppylinux.com/
distrowatch.com is an old favorite of mine for discovering new distros.
