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

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>Firefox does use more ram over
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 size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>Hint later versions are usually
better at using less memory! So check your version</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>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
build too (ie the latest bleeding edge) - I have been following issues
like this on the Firefox development newsgroup.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>Chrome also can have similar
issues, largely as it uses separate processes for each tab and this
increases memory usage too.</FONT></DIV>
