The amount of memory used by any browser reflect the following: * how many tabs are open * how complex are the Web pages * what scripts are running in the Web pages * what extensions are active You had FOUR tabs open just of Facebook! Did you really need all four? How much memory is required if you have only one tab for Facebook and no tabs for anything else? How much memory is required if you have four tabs open but none of them are for Facebook? Were any of your tabs streaming a video or sound? I do not use Facebook, so I cannot test what happens with tabs open to Facebook. With two tabs open to Web pages that automicatically update, however, I just launched a YouTube streaming video of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto; the memory requirement immediately doubled (but still less than 260 MB). -- David E. Ross Pharmaceutical companies claim their drug prices are so high because they have to recover the costs of developing those drugs. Two questions: 1. Why is the U.S. paying the entire cost of development while prices for the same drugs in other nations are much lower? 2. Manufacturers of generic drugs did not have those development costs. Why are they charging so much for generics? _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
