Thats it, I am done with Mozilla Firefox. Hello Opera once again - GoFuckYourself.com

They simply can't fix their memory leak problems. Leave Firefox open for 24 hours with 30 tabs, and memory climbs to 700mb!! WTF. I think the issue is that the browser keeps history even for tabs you close.

Opera rocks btw, give the new version a try. No ads, banners, completely free.

Firefox

blazi · 08-24-2006, 05:50 PM

I've never seen ads before using Firefox and I use it everyday?

Why do you need 30 tabs open at the same time?

And why would you leave your browser open if you arent using it?

CheneyRumsfeld · 08-24-2006, 06:00 PM

firefox
tools
options
history
from there you can set hold long FF keeps history.

tony286 · 08-24-2006, 06:56 PM

Yes and yes

I usually have between 7 and 15 windows open at a time split between 2 monitors, don't use tabs yet though, but something I will have to get used to using evenually.

Vitasoy · 08-24-2006, 07:06 PM

Not real problems here. FF rocks.

Miguel T · 08-24-2006, 07:06 PM

What? 30 tabs?
lolol...

Even Opera would shoot out the memory dude...

Im sticking with FF!

That's the only moan I got with FF - exactly the same problem. Was hoping they would cure the mem leaks with 1.5, but na.

rodney25 · 08-24-2006, 07:13 PM

I'm happy enough with my FF.

Na

FF runs fine with over 100 tabs open

The pain in the ass is the daily closing down to release mem leaking - but then it's fine for another 24 hours. (And mem leaks are still the same whether 2 tabs or 100 are open)

lmfao are you serious? maybe your system is just fucking gay... i have had firefox open for the last 2 weeks, haven't restarted it, or my computer, and usually have around 10 - 20 tabs open at once, also have a crash recovery extension incase it does crash, hasn't yet, which remembers what tabs are open and everything so i can start off where it crashed, and i STILL haven't gone over 100mb of memory used... check your shit, probably have something fucking up your system... don't blame firefox for your idiocy

I handle the issue with FF by using the Session Manager (crash recovery + more) plugin. Once a day or so I kill the process of the browser when the memory gets up to around 500k.

Instead of having to keep track of where I was it, I just restore the 'crashed' session and it opens back up all of my tabs etc.

SomeCreep · 08-24-2006, 07:57 PM

I believe in most countries, having 30 tabs open at once is against the law. Please refrain from using so many tabs simultaneously. Thank you.

Wiggles · 08-24-2006, 08:44 PM

i have same issue but its much better then other browsers.

iwantchixx · 08-24-2006, 08:50 PM

that memory maanagement thing is pissing me off too lately. Every so often the browser freezes, I hit ctrl-alt-del and wat the memory climb.. it's frozen, doing nothing and it climbs from 75 up to nearly a gig in a minute

DateDoc · 08-24-2006, 08:52 PM

i have had like 90 tabs open at once without a problem but lately FF has had issues. the latest crashes often. I have been using IE7 more and more.

madawgz · 08-24-2006, 08:54 PM

seriously its a fucking serious memory hog
