Thanks to everyone who made suggestions!
In the end, it was
's suggestion to use the 64-bit browser Waterfox that fixed the problem.
I mean, sure, Waterfox eats up 3.5 - 4 GB outta the 8 GB RAM my PC has, but despite that, it hasn't even crashed once all day yesterday - nor has Session Manager run out of memory, for that matter.
Installation also was super-easy, it doesn't even need to import anything - it just continues using the profile from Firefox in same folder.
Waterfox for the win!
My Firefox keeps crashing frequently, sometimes just after just an hour or two of use.
And no, I've long since ceased using Firefox to watch Youtube-videos.
When Firefox boots up, it immediatelly grows up to 1.8 - 2.0 GB of RAM usage. And that's before I even connect to the internet or do anything.
During normal use, over time it goes up to ~2.7 - 3.0 GB and then crashes.
I want to know why it does that. And how to fix it.
Now, for some information:
At the moment, I have 2388 tabs open in Firefox----
Yes, I know--
No, stop--
Wait, let me expl---

Oh har har, I get it. He has over 2000 tabs open and he asks why Firefox crashes. "Lol".
Yeah, the thing is, 2388 tabs isn't much. I used to be able to run 3100 tabs just fine.
3300 tabs was where things got wonky, and I began cleaning up a bit. :P
Also, I always disconnect the internet before I start Firefox, then wait 5 minutes for it to time out on trying to load every single tab at once.
Not just that, but I set it to auto-delete offline-cache data on shutdown AND I regularly clear my history to reduce session-filesize.
(Oh yeah, my session manager also fails all the time, usually with messages like "Error: OUT_OF_MEMORY" or "Error: undefined:undefined".)
So, I get the newer versions of Firefox simply run less stable than the old ones.
But what I don't understand is simply -- why is Firefox eating up 2 GB on bootup anyways? Internet-connection is disabled so it has nothing to load, and offline-cache is cleared automatically so it REALLY has nothing to load. What is it doing?
To Firefox, shouldn't all those not-yet-loaded tabs just be some lines of text where it stores the tabs' adresses? That can't take up 2 GB!
Also, how does 2 hours of regular browsing on "normal" websites with small images and banners equate to 1 GB RAM increase?
Also, in case anyone wants to know what ad-ons I use:

Eclipse is so unfinished it's LITERALLY UNUSABLE.
The simple act of writing a comment, going through your inbox, and browsing somebody's gallery.

WARNING! Eclipse will DELETE your Inbox FOLDERS!
I remember it was back in either 2008 or 2012 when deviantArt first announced they were gonna start auto-deleting inbox contents older than one year, which they did to clean up the database regarding abandoned accounts. Initially, at the time, that included old comments as well.
And back then, they told everyone to make sure they'd moved everything important from their inbox they wanted to keep into those little FOLDERS you could make on the left side of your inbox, to keep it save.
Now deviantArt is going to delete those folders, exactly the place where you've put all your important stuff because they told you it'd be safe there. :doh:

...I don't want Eclipse. I've been on this site for 13 years. I don't want this bull.
Keep the old design around. I don't care if it doesn't get any extra features that Eclipse does.
Just let me keep using the normal deviantArt. Not this Eclipse bullshit that's clearly inferior, because it doesn't have the ~20 years of work put into it the regular deviantArt has!
Just the user center alone is garbage. I don't want this.
Nobody wants this. You know people hate it. Please. Listen to your users, not some stupid "marketing trend analysis" bull. Your site is great as is!

Best free Antivirus? Help? -_-#
...I need a different Antivirus. What free Antivirus are you guys using, and does it do its job?.
I've been using Avira Free Antivirus for a decade and a half, and everything was fine.
(Well, except when it crashed and you had to restart the entire PC to fix that, or whenever it demanded a restart and would remind you with a popup every 4 hours, and let's hope you better aren't hitting the Enter key while typing when that popup comes out of nowhere.)
But now it keeps throwing important programs, backup-archives, and program installers into quarantine under the false assumption "this file looks suspicious". No. They aren't. Stop removing m
