    Love firefox and I use it but it's a memory killer! Some times uses almost 200MB and more!

    Isn't that what memory is for? :lol: , besides, I don't think you are running any programs which can drain out all your rest of the memory while you are using firefox!!

    It really helps to reduce that amount if you stop loading tabs with pages full of large porn pics. So stop watching porn!

    Hey...this high memory usage is due to memory leaks in FF, not because it is using it for anything useful. I don't mind a program using lots of memory with a reason!

    If I try, I can get FF memory consumption to 500MB with only 1 tab! The memory leaks are coming from Javascript. If you turn off Javascript, this issue is not there....but you will be missing a lot of web functionality. Firefox 3 solves this to a great extent, and I'm really looking forward to the final release.

    P.S.
    I had trouble running Crysis with Firefox open because of this, when I had 3GB RAM. (I don't use a pagefile fyi)
