Hmm I'm thinking prefetch needs to be disabled by default. You are probably still expirencing fastback cacheing that is holding onto the memory. Try going to 5 small pages afterwards like yahoo, google, msn, hotmail, ebay and watch the memory go down each page load. make sure you do this in one tab though.

Like I said the other day if the links are porn links, please pm them to me. needs fixed no matter what kind of sites the leaks occur on. Plus just because the leak happens on that site for you doesn't mean the same type of link isn't occuring on another site but not on th same scale because might not have as many pics.

i just have to say this:

since i found this topic i did the following:

update to 1.5.0.1

erase my profile

get rid of adblock

start using again the usercrome,usercontent,&users to customize,tweak firefox

i use to have like 20 extensions

now i am using only 7 and i teste it one by one

and the result is that i dont have anymore problems, yes from time to time ff get to use like 60-75mb of memory but i think its acceptable and it doesnt hog anything on my pc and the embbeded media problems tha i used to hacve dissppear so now i'm sure it was an extension

thanks supernova_00

I'm using:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

my extensions:

bbcodextra

download statusbar

fireftp

imagetoolbar

miniize to tray

superdrag&go

tabmixplus

themes:

cristal dream

i didi this:

network.prefetch-next to false

i look for this browser.sessionhistory.max_viewers but didnt find it, how do i add that entry?

i wasnt using adblock; i was using adblockplus, but i get rid of it and just add these to my usercontent

anything else i can do?

let me think.....well funny thing right now i have 64mb with just this window open....let me check few sites and i get back to u...in the mean time could u tell me how i add:

browser.sessionhistory.max_viewers

i know i have to go to about:config and right click, new but then what i have to choose?

You guys must have installed an extension that changed it to 50 or you have some tweak in your userchrome.css file to changed it. How is the memory useage doing now?

I know you said fresh install but you might of had a profile already on your computer from a previous installation.

also maybe you was looking at the wrong preference browser.sessionhistory.max_entries and is the number of pages to store in the session history (Go menu, Back/Forward menus)

you guys want browser.sessionhistory.max_viewers

You guys are getting confused.

browser.sessionhistory.max_entries = 50

browser.sessionhistory.max_viewers = 0 (Will have to add this as an integer = to 0 if you are having memory issues and don't care if back/forward navigation is a half second faster)

browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers = -1

Ah. You're right. I was looking at browser.sessionhistory.max_entries, I didn't have one for .max_viewers, but have now added it. Though after ditching the prefetch and getting rid of Adblock, my memory usage is about half what it used to be. Now its around 100MB combined RAM & VM with seven tabs open, though none of them are graphically intensive.

Don't confuse the "browser.sessionhistory.max_viewers" pref with "browser.sessionhistory.max_entries". max_viewers is the pref that needs to be set. You must create "browser.sessionhistory.max_viewers" so it holds an integer value (5 is a good start) as by default it's unset.

Got that from another site so max_viewers has to be created if it isn't there--max_entries is something else.

well cant say this site or another one, but after surfin a while i went to:

yonkis and then to WinCustomize and firefox jump from 30mb to 49mb and then to 69mb and from that point it justs keeps going up

now after that it stays around 60, right now i just add it the browser.sessionhistory.max_entries and i'm surfin to see if something happens

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
