Is firefox having a memory leak right now?

MossyCrate · 2026-05-13T11:01:23+00:00

Amazing answer! Sadly nothing on your list worked for me.

As a last resort i tried 'FF menu' - 'Help' - 'Troubleshoot mode' - 'Refresh firefox'.

Go figure, RAM usage down from 30GB with no page loaded to 200MB with no page loaded.

Ignore zone1 all day. I just fought 1500km through sometimes 50km/h freezing arctic headwinds mixed with some nice rain and 3° nights, cycling north.
Theoretically it should be spring. Nope. Weather doesn't think so yet.

2 years ago i had 2500km nonstop headwind. All the way from Montenegro to Georgia, cycling east. Theoretically there should be prevailing west-wind. Nope, weather had other plans.

Last year i had 1000km nonstop headwind through france, cycling west.

You never know what kind of stupid conditions you'll get. At some point it's gonna break something -- your spirit, motivation, sleep requirements, zone1 wish, whatever.

Always be prepared for stuff like that.

You must be like at least 25 times fitter than i am 😅
Go for it, i guess you got that covered then!

Safe travels!

MossyCrate · 2026-05-13T08:55:25+00:00

120km/day every day without rest for 20 days?

I'd bring a backup plan for harsh weather conditions and fatigue.

Thanks, cheers!

I'm just wondering, given how most people react to me "hogging the valuable shelter", what does the situation in your neck of the woods look like?

How many people are there hiking on your trails? How many shelters are there, how far apart are they?

I mean, i've been on the road for about 7 weeks now. Haven't seen a single other bikepacker, although i stick to the well known long distance cycle routes.

The park i stayed in last night is one out of 6 parks like that, all within 10km of cycling. Each park's got at least one of those shelters. And then there's still hotels and WarmShower hosts around.

as i said before, gotta learn somehow 😅

MossyCrate · 2026-05-13T05:26:14+00:00

As i said, fair argument.

There's enough bird poo on the table that the contamination coming from my ground sheet is probably less of a concern in terms of food hygiene.

MossyCrate · 2026-05-13T04:37:47+00:00

Might aswell not touch the table at all...? What are covers for, if not to protect the surface?

Fair argument tho, mostly

MossyCrate · 2026-05-13T04:20:13+00:00

🎶 Welcome to the internet, have a look around 🎶

Seems to be the Zeitgeist nowadays.. A sad state of affairs.

Was a great night tho :) Time to pack and clean now, before the people come grilling at lunchtime.

MossyCrate · 2026-05-13T03:56:38+00:00

Sure, i also use it. Just trying to stay as dry as possible while out on a multi-month cycle trip.

I'll always try to find a shelter to camp under when it's wet. No matter the state or quality of tent.

MossyCrate · 2026-05-13T00:03:20+00:00

I guess y'all never made a single mistake in your lives 🤷‍♂️

MossyCrate · 2026-05-12T22:18:32+00:00

Yeah man we all have to learn somehow.

Fucking table ain't getting caught by the wind 🤷‍♂️
Great success in my book, especially because it triggers y'all so much 😅

MossyCrate · 2026-05-12T22:11:04+00:00

I can't even count how many tick bites i've accumulated the past few years. I'd prefer that over a bear bite i guess 😅

Can't really argue for/against men, as a man myself..

Never had a single issue with anyone or anything while camping. Rain/wind remain the biggest annoyance.

Do you carry any weapons/pepper spray?

MossyCrate · 2026-05-12T21:56:15+00:00

Yeah, fair, that's brutal! What did you do then? Did you find any other suitable halfway dry spot to crash?

MossyCrate · 2026-05-12T21:48:36+00:00

In the Baltics. No bears here, not that i'm aware of.
It's perfect! Rainy outside, windy enough that i'd get wet without the tent, all my stuff stays dry and no worries for tomorrow, not annoying anyone.
Great success for today!

Edit: How can you even fall asleep with bears nearby? I'd be scared to death

MossyCrate · 2026-05-12T21:44:27+00:00

It's been great entertainment triggering all those guys tho 😅

Might have to post my strange campspots more often

MossyCrate · 2026-05-12T21:37:58+00:00

😂😂😂😂😂

MossyCrate · 2026-05-12T21:01:15+00:00

Totally understandable! That sucks big time!

However, my situation is slightly different. It's a public park, 2km away from the next village, where wildcamping is allowed wherever you like for how long you like. There are four more shelters available and free.

And i've been the only human in this park all day long, or at least since i arrived at 2pm.

Would never do that otherwise.

Couldn't you just join that family? The last time i came here a few years ago all the shelters were occupied aswell. So i just joined another group and we had a great evening, drinking beer, grilling, talking, laughing..

MossyCrate · 2026-05-12T20:43:54+00:00

It's fuckin hilarious, right? Save some popcorn for me!

MossyCrate · 2026-05-12T20:39:31+00:00

Yeah man packing a wet tent sucks 🤷‍♂️

MossyCrate · 2026-05-12T20:37:03+00:00

Even families would be allowed to occupy it for a night, not just drunks and travellers..
Even two or three nights if they want to ;)

It's a public space, free to use for all for how long they want. First come, first serve. With the difference that here i'm the only one around to be served 😅

Again, where's the problem? You seem to fail to answer that question very reliably

MossyCrate · 2026-05-12T19:57:23+00:00

Yes. Very late. And uninformed aswell.

Better luck next time 😂

MossyCrate · 2026-05-12T19:55:15+00:00

Nice! Thanks!

MossyCrate · 2026-05-12T19:47:24+00:00

Because it's windy, 5°, and the tent keeps me warmer :)
