Firefox is touted as a lean and mean Mozilla, but it appears not to be lean and mean at all.

i upgraded to 1.5 with the same results. i uninstalled and reinstalled version 1.07 which i am completely happy with. just because a software company provides an upgrade doesn't me you need to run right out and install it. a little research would have provided you the same answers and saved you a bunch of time.
now that more and more software is free, people are still complaining. just amazing. |

All versions of Firefox leak. They like to blame it on poorly written extensions, but in my experience it still leaks memory, extensions or not. Version 1.5 was reported to address this problem. It appears their efforts were unsuccessful. The fact it is free for end users is irreverent. Mozilla earns profit via the search box. www.forbes.com/2005/08/03/mozilla-firefox-forprofit-cx_ld_0803mozilla.html Google search is free, but they earn billion in revenue. Similar model with Mozilla. |

I have Firefox 1.5.0.1 running on two XP SP2 systems with no memory problems. Most memory issues are plugin or extension related.
The following threads deal with memory issues: forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=354828 kb.mozillazine.org/Reducing_memory_usage_%28Firefox%29 |

This happens because FF keeps the previous 8 viewed pages in memory, per tab. This included pdfs, animated gifs, everything...

Still better than IE though.

K? As in Kilobytes? No it wasn't. I can make Firefox hit 500MB just browsing a picture thread here on arfcom. I continue to use it, because I like tabbed browsing, and I've come to depend on many of the extensions I have installed. |

Look two posts above my original post. Firefox is completely 'irreverent'. It is apparently disrespectful and critical of what is generally accepted or respected.

4:00 AM typo, give me a break. Anyway, the point I was making is the fact Mozilla gives it to end-users for free is irrelevant. They derive income from it via search sponsors. |

I don't think I've ever seen mine go above 150K or so.
After about three hours of surfing, it's at about 78K. You don't like it, you can always go back to IE.....  ~ |

I'm running Opera too and have been for the last three years or so. Like Firefox some sites don't play well so I keep IE around. The new IE V7.0 is due out soon. We'll see. |

Firefox is working out rather well for me. It seems to be a "Safari" with the problems fixed. As such, it is fine. I had one particular problem with the last version of OPera (tried it about 3 weeks ago as a download from the Opera site, so I don't know if it was the latest version or the immediately preceeding one), similar to Safari in that it would not recognize certain blank fields on a page so I could fill in data and click to act on it. Firefox works fine on that site. ALso had problems with Safari and ar15.com: when I logged off, and it appeared I HAD logged off, upon returning it showed I was still logged on - I'll assume a caching issue. Again, firefox solved that. I suppose eventually I'll find something to pick on, but I haven't even learned the entire browser, yet.

All sites, but I get the most of them here. Maybe that's because I spend more time here. I'll copy the exact wording next time I get one. |

Two clicks and I got another one.
"Warning: Unresponsive script A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete." Then it has a "Stop script" button, and a "Continue" button. Before this shows up, everything just freezes. After several seconds this window pops up, and once it's closed or a button is clicked it'll take a few more seconds before you can click on the page and have it active again. Someone else had me download a script program, and I had to allow/disallow script on every site I went to. It had no effect on the problem mentioned above, so I uninstalled that program.  I'm hopeful that if I can scrounge up the necessary funds to get WildBlue installed that it will clear this up.

GoGop, maybe you should uninstall all the plugins, and re-install them one by one until you find the one that causes that problem. It does seem like a lot of people find that FF plugins don't always work right (or cause other odd things).
Most of the problems that I hear people say FF has, I've never had. But then I don't have any plugins installed either. Coincidence? ------------ Also: the Mozilla browsers sacrafice some speed/optimization to the fact that they are cross-platform. ------------ Opera would be a lot better if it was open-source. If I have to type my credit-card and bank passwords into it, I'd really rather know (from independent sources) exactly what the browser does with that data. ~ |

OK, here's the 'problem'. And once I realized this, I didn't get any more memory 'leak'. This is actually a "feature."
They blame it on the user... as usual. Our actual use patterns don't match the way they think we should browse. Stop using your BACK button. The previous page info is stored in memory for fast access. So if you're checking your hotmail account, don't go into a message, then hit BACK and then refresh the page, use the link to the inbox and actually browse to it. Avoid using your BACK button as much as possible and you will minimize the amount of memory FF takes up. Unfortunately, they need to realize that users do, what users do... and they need to write code to take that into account, not assume that everyone browses the way they do. Either that, or disallow the action by the user all together. And all this time, I've been browsing "wrong."
