>>not only is it not [memory-lite]<<
In my own experience, the secret to making Firefox memory-lite is to never, *ever* leave a Tumblr dashboard tab open for extended periods of time. (Webpage-view Tumblr blogs seem to be generally fine.) It looks like the memory-leak problems I was having with Firefox were all the blue hellsite's fault, which...well, it certainly seems in-character.

>>it has fewer and less effective native memory-management tools<<
Yeah, the lack of ability to crash tabs at will is unfortunate, all the more so for someone with that many of them. Apparently there are extensions for that, though I haven't tried them myself.

>>Also Edge on the side as a container for Facebook; this should be fixed soon by an extension that Tulip recommended for the purpose<<
I don't do Facebook per se, but I do use account containers on occasion and they are definitely handy.
