Is this problem a short thing? or does it persist? IOW, does it grab all that cpu and memory and then give it back or does it keep it forever? others have asked, what versions of which firefox derivative are you running?

You can determine your installed plugins by typing about:plugins in the URL bar. Another question: Do you usually have many tabs open at once? --j signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Do you mean that you compiled your own firefox, or do you really mean the debian packaged Iceweasel? What version?

Re: firefox keeps grabbing huge chunks of my system
Type top then type q to quit. Post the first few lines to the list. Could be java or javascript running. Try turning them off: Edit - preferences Content tab uncheck java and javascript. or go to the adanced button and turn off all the things java and javascript can do. Also browse through tabs and hit stop to see if the cpu goes down. You could be out of dram. Typre free and post what it says. tom arnall wrote: On Tuesday 11 September 2007 10:55, Andrew Sackville-West wrote: On Tue, Sep 11, 2007 at 09:00:09AM -0700, tom arnall wrote: firefox keeps grabbing huge chunks of my system: 97% cpu, 20% memory. the cpu is 2.3GH and mem is 512M. more info. what pages? what plugins are installed etc etc etc A i assume by pages you mean what web pages. no pages in particular. after 10-15 minutes it's just grabbing most of the cpu. as to plugins, i don't know how to determine these. as for plugins, are these the items which come up with firefox's tools/addons choices? tom arnall -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
