Basically Firefox is plagued by memory leaks. Try bringing it up to the developers and you get a response like this:
> Firefox uses memory for page caching and when we didn't do this people > complained that the back button was too slow and now that we do people > complain when Firefox uses 500 megs of RAM and you can't please > everyone and it is only using available memory that windows isn't using > anyway and it's free software so stop complaining. So, yeah, Mozilla Firefox used to be a revelation, a piece of software you would recommend to all of your friends. Now it is becoming a huge hunk of crap. I still use it because I just can't seem to get used to Opera. I just make sure I close all browser windows around once an hour and bring up the task manager t make sure there aren't any lingering FIREFOX.EXE processes before I start it up again. I've been hearing decent things about the IE 7 beta, so maybe that will be the answer in 6 months or so. -- NWP ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NWP's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3730 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24579 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
