Has Firefox stopped allocating so much RAM that it fills up all my 40GB? Overcommit isn't always enabled, because I'm not making a 64GB page file just to keep Firefox running for more than a week. (That is how large Windows tried to make it before I disabled the page file.)
On my computer, Firefox running out of memory is its own damn fault. Retrying memory allocation won't fix anything! And running out of commit space crashes everything else too, so Firefox letting itself crash isn't going to help, because it still brings down half the system. (And it still, already crashes when it runs out of memory.)
