pryomancer Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I'm thinking my FireFox browser (version 3) has a memory leak. I'll start it up, and it uses about 25k memory, but within 20 or so minutes it's up to ~60k-100k. Specs: Vista Home Premium SP1 2GB DDR2 RAM 2.8GHz Intel Pentium D Any other info you need just ask.

pryomancer Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 The thing is when the memory use is high, videos and games (flash ones at least) become very laggy with low framerates, and the whole browser becomes slow. I've tried some things tutorials have suggested involving about:config, but it didn't make a difference so far as I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denismage Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 How many tabs do you have open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryomancer Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Rarely more than 3 at any time, usually just 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denismage Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 The amount of memory firefox uses rises every time you open a new tab. I have 13 tabs open at the moment and firefox uses 113 MB RAM. No apparent memory leak for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
