I hate snap
About Firefox and memory:
I booted to 20.04 (I normally use Neon). I'm writing this from it.
I have a conky that gives me real-time memory (among other things) usage. At boot I have 10% of 7.7 Gb (8 Gb on board) used.
I open Firefox with no tabs, it goes to 18%.
I open a few tabs until it gets to, say 30%.
I close all the tabs but keep Firefox open. It goes back to 18% is a few seconds.
[EDIT] I rebooted to Neon (testing, 18.04-based). Comparison: At boot, 13%, Firefox open, no tabs, 21%. Memory release, same.)
