From what i understand…they check it once a year on the anniversary month that you had it from…ex: i got it officially Nov 2017 so that means i will next be checked Nov 2018…Then, if you don’t currently meet the $100,000 at that point, you get 3 months to get it “up to speed” so to speak, before they would drop your level down…
So, checked once a year at anniversary month and 3 months grace period to meet it before dropping down…
I tried a few more times, with the box first unchecked and then checked…i’d say it helps prevent it going into wild swings up but i am still using more ram then in Chrome even when it is checked…So, i will leave it checked but am hoping it will improve as Firefox Quantum gets updated…
Based on what i observed (with the box checked or unchecked) the difference wasn’t that much for me, so i guess it doesn’t quite solve the problem, but of course, i really appreciated your input!
Hopefully, as the newer versions comes down with improvements, it will get better…I noticed that many others also mentioned about having the problem, so i guess Mozilla must be aware of it…For me, it’s roughly averaging about an extra 500 mb than Google Chrome was for me…Increasing more as the hours go by that i am on it…I’d say Edge Browser was the lightest on memory…
However, Firefox Quantum 57 is FAST, I love the new look and the font and graphics rendering and videos are excellent…so i am staying with it and my default browser! Never thought i’d be switching to Firefox but this is like a whole different browser…

I looked in the settings, seems that box was unchecked by default on mine…I am going to try checking it to see if it makes any difference in a positive way…I’ll report back after i observe it for a day or so…
My bad, this was the actual fix for mine:
thanks for reporting this. can you try if this change can workaround the performance problem?: go to the firefox menu ≡ > options > privacy & security panel and under permissions check the setting to prevent accessibility services from accessing your browser.
Thanks for following up! I re-checked the Override automatic cache management to set it back to the way it was at default…
Then i checked the setting to prevent accessibility services from accessing your browser, as you suggested…So far, looking a LOT better but i will have to monitor it for the rest of the day…by tomorrow i should know for sure…Will definitely report back!

I was mostly a Chrome user, though on windows 10, i was kind of getting use to using Edge, which actually isn’t bad…I tried it about a week ago and took it off the same day…Then i thought about it for a day or two and decided that i should give it another chance…After a few days, i was really enjoying it and decided to make it my default browser! (with Edge as the back up and removed Chrome)…
In the past i didn’t care for firefox but the new interface looks great, it is easy to use and fast as lightening on the speed…I also like the way it renders fonts and graphics and plays you tube videos beautifully, so i am sticking with it…
Only thing is i am finding it is consuming more memory the either Google Chrome or Edge…Anyone else have that problem with Firefox Quantum?
I did some searching online and i noticed that many others have reported it too…so hopefully, it will eventually get fixed…I’d say it is averaging about 700-800 mb more than Chrome on usage, which seems to build up as the hours go by while it is open…
Other than that, i am looking forward to the improvements as they come along…It’s like a whole different Firefox!
Also, there is a little trick you can employ…which is sanctioned by the FDIC and also NCUA to extend the coverage (up to as much as 1,250,000) at the same bank or credit union…
By adding extra beneficiaries…5 to get the maximum…And they can include non profit charities (like aspca, united way, etc)…if your bank/cu allows it…
For example: you could have 2 people beneficiaries in the main savings account…then open up an additional savings or a cd account where you keep a small amount, and stick the non profits in that one…The 5 beneficiaries do not have to be in the same account…There are articles about this online…like this one:

Synchrony Bank’s Online High Yield Savings Account had increased to 1.30% apy on Sept 21st…
I assume you currently running windows 7? Whatever version you use…select the same as your current running…ex: if you are running windows 7 home…select same for 10…if you are running window 7 pro then select that…
