How to know each TAB memory usage ?

In Firefox Quantum, you can use about:performance.

There is also about:memory where you can "view, save, load, and diff detailed measurements of Firefox's memory usage".

EDIT 1

An user requested this feature five months ago in Mozilla Support forum. Quoting the answer of the moderator, "Mozilla is working on that through the Electrolysis project".

EDIT 2

Project Electrolysis has been released! Now Firefox is also multi-process.


For Firefox, I've made an addon which displays tab memory usage in the corresponding tab's title.

Provides user with tab related stats and memory usage ..

Features

  • How many tabs are currently open
  • How many tabs have been opened during this Firefox session
  • How many tabs have been opened since addon installed
  • Display tab memory usage in title
  • Preference to toggle tab memory usage on/off
  • Preference to set interval between memory usage collection

Try using about:performance. It seems to give real-time data similar to Chrome's Task Manager.

The add-ons don't work in Firefox Quantum, since the add-on framework has been changed now.
