Firefox Users?

[atldunkman]

Since we all know Firefox is a memory hog, how do u go about keeping the memory usage to a minimum? At any given time when i check its around like400,000-600,000 k. That's usually when my computer starts to freeze. Any suggestions?

at most it's maybe 80k- ish ...try reinstalling it

 

[oidreez]

i think you can limit how much space it can take up on your comp for its memory, checc some FireFox FAQs

crtl+alt+delete >processes > firefox.exe [mem usage]

 

[dat sick kid]

^press and hold control, alt, and delete and the manager task thing shows up...click on the processes tab and look at firefox.exe and that tells you how memoryit eats up...

This is far from a memory hog. If anyone remembers Internet Explorer 4 and when pop ups first came around, then they know what's good and whats a memoryhog.

 

[leroythegreat38]

Oh, I never even paid attention to that thing whenever I would press ctrl+alt+delete

 

[iheartboost]

[iceman3699]

[rwfanatic]

[DPancakes]

The latest update should fix that I think.

Help>Check for updates

mines at 300k, why is it so high?

 

[atldunkman]

I wonder if i have too many extensions running? Or could it be the tabs? Idk anymore.

 

[htownhooper31]

I'm at about 95k so I guess I'm good

aat 400-600k. You should re-install firefox.

How many extensions you got? They can use up a lot of memory.

 

[atldunkman]

I have 6 active extensions running, and a theme.
