It also looks like adwcleaner removed my Pocket extension (I was using an old version that can't be found by searching for extensions). Anyone know how I can get it back?
which version was it?

Yes but I like the old version better.

see https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/3dej4y/anywhere_i_can_find_the_old_pocket_extension/
It was the version where you clicked the icon and a list popped up showing you the last 10 or so articles.
I'll check out that link and see if it's the right one

Is FF taking up too much memory?

Yes
Unfortunately I can't debug this error any longer as that computer seems to have died in the interim :(

Yes

Well, that's the issue. You need to either get more RAM, close some tabs, or remove some extensions.

I got that error with not so many tabs open (around 5)

I wonder if the ram was my problem - I ran Windows Memory Diagnostics and it came back fine, so I was assuming it was the hard drive. (more details, in case you're interested)

Why are they eliminating every good feature?
I'm seriously considering switching to chrome at this point

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-groups-removal
In the article there are 3 very important points.
  • ANy existing tabs in groups will become bookmarks. What a pain.
    Quote
    All your existing Tab Groups will be bookmarked automatically and stored in the Bookmarks folder. You will be able to access them by clicking the Bookmarks button Bookmarks-29 in the toolbar.
  • There is an add-on already available which uses the current code to keep the feature.
    Quote
    If you want a direct replacement for the Tab Groups feature, try the Tab Groups add-on. It was created directly from the Firefox code and works just like the current feature. It will be as if the feature was not removed from Firefox. This add-on aims to fully replace Tab Groups in Firefox, providing a similar and hopefully even enhanced experience. You can install Tab Groups from the Add-ons website.
  • By installing this add-on before the update (not sure if I would call it an upgrade) it wil take over the tab feature already now and the tabs will not become bookmarks.
    Quote
    If you install the add-on before you update to Firefox 45:
    • Your Firefox Tab Groups will be automatically migrated to the add-on.
    • Firefox won't turn your groups to bookmarks as described above.
If the only difference is the need to use an add-on then it is not so bad.

Cool! I don't remember reading that section before - so either they changed the article, or I'm losing it. Or both.

Go to about:preferences, check "Warn me when closing multiple tabs".  Then attempt to close firefox :)
