Problem Description

- Related to FlowLauncher.exe locks places.sqlite in Firefox profiles folder even if Browser Bookmarks plugin is disabled. #2120
Summary: Flow eating up gigs of RAM after running continously for serveral days to weeks.
Hey, i can't open an issue on github atm, but if you're interested i think i managed to pinpoint what causes the growing memory usage.
It turns out that it's the default Browser Bookmarks
plugin. The interesting thing is that it slowly eats RAM even if the plugin is turned off, and only stopped when completely removing the plugin (i didn't test if turning off individual browsers in settings has the same effect).
So it seems that there's a bit more to this issue: #2120
Win10
, Flow v1.15.0
, Firefox ESR branch
, also i remember few other browsers being enabled by default in plugin so additionally there's also: Opera
+ Chrome
installed on the system, but basically never used.
I noticed that having Browser Bookmarks
either enabled or disabled it sometimes grabs another chunk of RAM when i opened any bookmark in Firefox, but there was no other action that would(?) modify places.sqlite (adding/editing/removing bookmakrs).
When Browser Bookmarks
was enabled/disabled after flow launcher restart, memory usage slowly grew throughout the day of using Firefox, from the normal 160-180MB after restart to 500MB~ at the end of the day and 1000MB~ at day3, after removing Browser Bookmarks
i'm at 167,2MB on day2.
I can't tell exactly if there's a bigger issue in Flow that would act the same way, but on a significantly slower rate and Browser Bookmarks
just being the more obvious suspect, but at the end of the day it's still weird that it even does anything when the plugin is disabled.
