Actually IE is working the best of all of them ! Restarting the FF session did sort the memory our obivously, but it started increasing straight away.<br>Ah well<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 1:40 PM, John Bird <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:johnkbird@paradise.net.nz">johnkbird@paradise.net.nz</a>></span> wrote:<br>

aboutt eh flash stuff, but even when I have pages open with no flash it uses a

Figured it was not worth having 2 memory hungry browsers installed

time - restart it and you will find the memory use dives. Its
not all Firefox's fault - some is memory leaks, but most is from Flash and
other plugins, so other browsers will do the same.</font></div>

<div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">Each version gets tighter on
memory usage, for instance I have had 67 tabs open for about a day and
Firefox is using 380MB memory. I am running the 3.7 nightly alpha

like this on the Firefox development newsgroup.</font></div>

increases memory usage too.</font></div>
