    No, it just limits the amount of RAM that Firefox (or whatever other application you launch with these parameters) will see.

    A few Firefox tabs may crash occasionally as a side effect. And obviously if Firefox eats up all of the 8GB it’s allocated it may crash itself though usually it doesn’t and tabs will crash before the browser crashes.
