Look out for flash adverts on any page you are viewing, cricinfo, stuff and facebook all use that sort of thing and they absolutely kill my mac. If the kids have left facebook open and then switched users, performance goes through the floor (particularly if all three of them have been doing the same thing). Their FF sessions can be taking up 15-25% cpu each which is ridiculous for a app that isn't even being actively used.<br>

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>

<div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">Hint later versions are usually
better at using less memory! So check your version</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2"></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>
