Goodness! someone please help me with Firefox!

[Joshy]

The average persons firefox uses 55MB-100MB (my best guess) depending on the amount of memory avaliable. The one bad thing about FF is it is a memeory whore, but, that is another reason that it has kick ass speed compared to alternatives. Mine takes about 88MB, but I have extensions and everything right now that could be adding to that.

I asked youif you had noticed a pattern of when it does this, like when you launched a Java thing on the internet, streamed a movie with WMP, or used flash player because on my old computer my Firefox never properly closed Java for some reason, and Java caused extreme memory for me.

Also:

Please screenshot your Tools>AddOns. (Reply if you need help putting that online) OR just list what addons you have.

Please screenshot your Help>About Mozilla Firefox (Reply if you need help putting that online) OR just give me your full version info seen there.

Please don't give up on Firefox because of one pesky memory leak, if we have to we can go into the about:config settings and force it to use less memory, but I want to see if we can solve the problem first = )



It may just be the fact that FF just likes its memory, but that much seems high to me.

Hmm, sometimes when I close uTorrent or MSN messenger it causes a memory leak I dont really notice much of a pattern besides that. I dont really know how to find the tools/addons. I cant find About Mozilla Firefox either. Please dont mind me I am computer illiterate to no end, so please explain.
