My laptop is in dire need of a complete reinstall, but yes I’ve had problems with Firefox (or add-ins?) I went back to an older version (3.0.15), but it is still eating memory. Pause, wheeze, crash, whatever.
Firefox has always been a memory/resource HOG, even back with version 0.7.
I made a comment about it on their forum and the response was that it ‘must be some add-on/extension.’
BS
Excessive memory use has been a problem for years with Firefox and every version I’ve used. The ver 3 series don’t seem quite as bad, but they still consume memory.
I have had it gobble up 400+ Mb, with no tabs open. The problem is that it consumes, but won’t release memory when tabs are closed.
