but I closed and reopened it last night
it was up over 750MB prior to that

I do keep a number of tabs open and leave FF running pretty much 24/7, but the memory usage still seems extreme

Firefox 7 running on Windows XP –– 154,828K with two windows open.

Memory usage dropped dramatically when I installed NoScript.. I have scripts and cookies tightly restricted
on my desktop ( NoScript and MAXA Cookie Manager, along with Kaspersky Anti-Virus, Malwarebytes, and Hijack This ).

Once I kept all the garbage from running in the background, memory usage dropped from multi-Megs to a few hundred K.



Edited to correct pre-caffeine typos.

Before I switched to Google Chrome, FF7 regularly went up around 1GB, and caused all sorts of problems on my comp. (ie. freezing, crashing, and even got the blue screen a couple of times).  Since I switched to Chrome I am running around 100 Mb, and have not had a single freezing/crashing issue.  I will not go back to FF unless they make some drastic changes.

240mb, not too much.  But then I really don't tax it like some of you do, I just don't run a bunch of open tabs, etc., and always close/open stuff.  I'm gonna switch to it from Safari for a few days and leave tabs and stuff open and never close it, just to see.

1.1GB.  Seems about right.  I restart mine when it gets into the neighborhood of 1.5GB.  It's at 900MB now, so I'm guessing it will be there by this afternoon.

It's been this way for me since v1.5.  6 versions later....  They're testing my patience.

I could have 15 tabs in one window when researching something at work, and I"ll have 5-6 windows open.  There are also times when I might not close it down for 3 days in a row, hell sometimes all week depending on the research.  Shit adds up.

For the last time: this is a memory leak.  It climbs over time.  The longer you have FF open, the higher that usage climbs.

I wouldn't have the first clue as to how to check said figures.
