Hi there, I have been using Firefox since a long time with these extensions. Do you think if any of those are redundant? Why I ask this is that while using Outlook in Firefox, it's consuming around 1.7 GB of RAM. I don't think it should be using this much amount of RAM for just a single tab of Outlook. Edit: I already use uBlock Origin, but it's not present in the attached pic.

cant you go to like about:memory and it breaks down whats using ram?

I checked it out and the main culprit is the GPU usage. I made a performance profile for graphics and uploaded it to Mozilla's server for their review.

The GPU is using your RAM? Maybe you should post a screenshot of that page

I'll post it after going home.

I'll check that out. Thanks.
