As a long time Firefox user, I believe Firefox sees orders of magnitude more RAM issues than other apps because it is using orders of magnitude more RAM than other apps.

    I suspect the stuff Firefox stores in ram is more sensitive, too. A lot of games load tens of gigabytes of textures, but a bitflip in that stuff will lead to a pixel somewhere being the wrong colour instead of a crash.
