Firefox

[pocket-rocket]

Has anyone had any issues with theirs lately? I use mine exclusively over IE, but I know there are some die hard IE people out there. I leave IE on both mine and my wife's computers in case something goes wrong with Firefox, and also because her schools online class setup doesn't like Firefox so she has to use IE on there. Lately Firefox has been a big resource hog. I have Task Manager open as I post this and Firefox is up to 524MB after surfing the site for an hour. I know the longer I leave it open it is coded to gain control of more memory if it's not in demand by anything else and release it when it's needed by something, but half a gig for a browser? That and over half the time when I close Firefox it doesn't close in the processes list and eats up 50% of my CPU cycles. I took a screenshot last night where it had eaten over 1 gb of memory after being open for a few hours but had gone down to just under 1 gb after I closed it. That's just down right stupid. Has anyone else noticed issues like that after the latest update?

I went back to IE because it works for everything. Its been open for 16 hours, 236 megs.

FF is at 583 megs now, and growing... You can literally watch it grow with every tick that Task Manager updates...

Time to put it on an alt F4 diet.

I forgot to add, sometimes my drop down boxes don't pop up where they are supposed to when clicked and it takes a second click to get them to act right. This was after the 2nd to last update, but the most recent one seems to have fixed it.

Firefox on my laptop right now is around 170-175,000 K

83,024k with 3 tabs open (60v6, v6z24 and TGO).


48K with just this site.. maybe it's the chat thingy?

I haven't turned FF off since the last update and it is hovering at 170k.

10 tabs open now lol.

Hmm, maybe I will just remove it and reinstall it and see if that fixes things.
