That's interesting. On all my Windows systems Firefox 9 and 10 hogs up almost 1GB of memory (and uses up the pagefile!) for only 5-6 tabs open. I even reduced the memory cache settings. Not even Firefox 3.x used to hog so much RAM on any of my systems. Approx. 100-200MB at most with 15 tabs open. And memory cache enabled.
Note that I am talking about visiting the same sites I normally do here. On a test now (x64 system) Firefox 9.0.1 hogs up over 170MB RAM with only 1 tab open. Not even Firefox 4 was this bad; I've noticed usage getting worse since they switched to this "quick release" scheme and turned their entire user base into beta testers, without their consent. I rest my case. On Sat, 25 Feb 2012 11:15:23 +0100 Sven Barth <pascaldra...@googlemail.com> wrote: > On 25.02.2012 09:38, Adam wrote: > > > > Yes. Sorry. You're absolutely right.
