Yes I thought aboutt eh flash stuff, but even when I have pages open with no flash it uses a lot of ram too.......I have already got rid of chrome for the same reasons. Figured it was not worth having 2 memory hungry browsers installed :-)<br>

<div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">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>

better at using less memory! So check your version</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 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" face="Arial" size="2">Chrome also can have similar
issues, largely as it uses separate processes for each tab and this increases
memory usage too.</font></div>
