Dude, I've got 3 windows and 29 tabs open and I'm only using a hair over 200 mb. WTF are you doing?

Same as it is here, but I don't do very much posting over there, I think I'm at like 70ish.

Do you post over there?

So true. Of course, memory leaks are silly, too.

It's not a memory leak if it's configurable.

BTW, just get Firefox 2.0. It's RC2 now. Perfectly stable and most extensions now work with it. I love the new spell check feature.

What version of FF is that? I heard that 2.x has helped with the memory problem a bit...

I would have thought that the whole board would have PM'd me concerning it's spell check feature

I've never had FF ram whore on me before, but I have had it not open (as in, I open firefox, it shows up in the task manager process list, but it never shows up as a window). Switched over to 2.0 RC2 today and haven't had a problem yet.

ive never had any problems with firefox crashing and/or eating up too much memory. well maybe it does eat up memory but i don't notice as nothing gets slowed down so i dont really care either way.

 

[ForumMaster]

either use Opera or IE7 or you could try [l=this]http://www.download.com/3000-2086-10070530.html[/] this program will free ram from FF.

 

[SportSC4]

memory leaks with bad extensions are a problem, but FF also caches the last 10 pages per tab in memory.

 

[DanTMWTMP]

well, IE7 has a huge advantage that it's integrated within windows shell. Due to this, I use IE7 .

I can't alt-tab btwn games and FF that well, whereas in IE7 it's a lot faster.
