Since you're on a 32-bit system and some others have explained it's memory limits, you might be experiencing memory pressure issues. Meaning, you're hitting a memory ceiling and the system is starved for resources with your tabs open. These web sites might have intensive images and other resource gobbling code. If you have anything else running on your system while Firefox is running, it too will eat up memory only making the problem worse. Not much you can do. You have a 4GB system with a 2GB video card. That 4GB of system RAM works out to be about 3.1GB usable to the *whole* system. It's a 32-bit OS limitation. That 2GB video card eats up 2GB of RAM automatically for address space leaving you with 1.1GB of free RAM. If anything else is using memory, you're going to run out of free RAM quickly. Thus, experience CPU churn and hard disk swapping virtual RAM. - Thee Chicago Wolf [MVP] _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
