do you have the latest update of firefox? I would check for a nightly build or final update. Thats eating a lot of ram too. I got 4 tabs and using 53MB ram. A lot of people like opera, and 8.5 is free appearently.

i am not into the deep firefox stuff, more just download, customize a bit and use.

care to link me to the things you talked about?..and i have used opera..it is nice...not sure to set it in as my permanent browser yet though.

My firefox seems to have always done this - as I browse the memory useage slowly creeps up. I wasn't sure if this was a memory leak or if it had anything to do with the fast connection, fast machine settings I put into my user.js settings file...

user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 8);
user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 5);
user_pref("plugin.expose_full_path", true);
user_pref("ui.submenuDelay", 0); 
user_pref("content.interrupt.parsing", true);
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536); 

right now it's using 123megs but I've had it hit over 250megs - obviously, closing firefox and loading it up again sorts that out and to be honest, I've not noticed any performance loss on my machine for it. It just looks bad in the process list is all :)

Mine usually only uses max 5Mb of memory except for this one time I had in excess of 30+ tabs open and it completley ****ted itself and it was using 120Mb of memory. I was like :o Damn
