jcl Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 That's normal. Firefox leaks memory like a seive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheTerrorist_75 Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Minimize it to the taskbar then maximize it. The memory use should be reduced. So I have read. That is the main reason I quit using it. Other reasons include more security holes than IE so it is constantly revamped which caused many extensions not to work. I got tired of messing with it. I tried Avant but that soon had some problems. Once I switched to Opera I discovered a browser that works very well and does what I need. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkestDream Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 That really normal, if you downloading a huge file then yes you will have a high memory usage.Memory Leak issue on FX already fixed, that was few version ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites

robroy Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 with 21 tabs open in ff I am using under 100mbwith I E if I had that many windows open I would lock up my computer. I wonder if that is why some people show large usage of memory Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 (edited) Both browsers opened to a plain site like google FF uses 2mb less than IE. FF - 17MB IE - 19MBWhen opened up to Homestar Runners Site main page 3 they both ran about the same at 21-22MB.*Note this is on my Bedroom computer. Athlon XP 2600+, 512MB PC2100 RAM, No extensions, I need to test on my main system and check that out, Athlon XP 3000+, 1024MB PC3200**EDIT nevermind I lied IE is only at 12 on google but is at 21-22 on homestar though. The 19 was on MSN. never changed any IE settings on this computer cause I always used firefox.* Edited January 17, 2006 by Honda_Boy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
