mars_army Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Holy crap has anyone else been having problems with FF using too much freakin RAM?Yeah there's a huge thread on the Mozilla forums, but it's far too formal and technical, so I figured I'd ask you guys since we're a more casual bunch and can cut through the unnecessary details and such.So if anybody has found ways to effectively cut down on memory problems in FF, please share.Apparently the program is just full of memory leaks, especially with downloading picture files and whatnot.PS: by a "lot" of memory, i mean 100+ mb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SacredCultivator Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Lol yeah I get that to... ANd actually 1.5 needs to just wait to become 2.0 before the Memory Leak will be solved... At least that is what I think... ANd all you have to do to stop it so far is just quit FireFox and restart it up again and that resets the Memory Usage.

SacredCultivator Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Heh sorry... As of now.. There isn't any other alternative except to switch Browsers. Because there were a few 'fixes' that were made to well fix the problem but they proved to have no effect at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeus_Hunt Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I have swithed to Maxthon due to this iss after being a strong supporter of FireFox since v0.6.On my system it generally uses around 60Mb RAM...Maxthon uses around 3-5Mb RAM ..Right now with 7 Tabs its using around 15Mb...The max I have seen it go is around 20Mb...The 1 thing I miss about Firefox is the adblock capability which was slightly better than Maxthons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeus_Hunt Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Take the opera challange. The most feature rich browser out of the box.Just did it...I have tried a lot of times...since around v5.0But I have always come to something else....And right now I am doing the same going back to Maxthon...I have always liked the feel of Opera..It looks good with just Tab Bar and Address Bar...gr8 skins as well..Right now I m replying in Opera 9 and have 3 tabs open...For some reason my task manager shows 35MbMaxthon at the max uses 20Mb when opening a page... and slowly dies down to around 5Mb...And one thing I miss is right click on an image and click on Add to AD Hunter or block this image...A website like softpedia gives me 4 ads on wen I open the website for the 1st time..the same website gives me only 2 ads on maxthon...then after the 1st use I can block the other ads too, so right now it shows 0 ads...I believe Lite u can throw some light on the addons which probably would take care of the ads and block images....which I think I tried the last time I installed Opera...which was way complicated when compared to just install plugins of firefox ...

Administrator Lite Posted December 24, 2005 Administrator Share Posted December 24, 2005 Opera AdBlock: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=88091 (Remember, adverts keep websites alive!)Orhttp://www.lintacious.com/opera/adblock.phpAlso your comparing memory usage of an ALPHA opera to a FINAL maxathon :P . Opera still is the worlds fastest browser and overall system impact is minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Lite Posted December 24, 2005 Administrator Share Posted December 24, 2005 No its called memory cache.... disable it and your memory usage will go down, but will slow your browsing down a bit..... what is your obsession with a few mb memory? Do you have like 128mb RAM?Stability: 8.5Features/Speed: 9.0Take your pick... i use neither :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
