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

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 :321GFY

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

same here. I'm happy with FF.

Good for you. Go have a cookie.

I don't care if it uses 200 or 1 gig of ram ... I never use all my ram anyways.

30 tabs? That's some heavy-duty surfing huh? :thumbsup

Yeah, it actually uses your free ram, that's good :D

ya you posted yaa, mommie mommie he made a post on GFY

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

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

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

multitasking..
so you can come back where you left off.

the new beta rocks , 1.5 crashed alot but I think the google tool bar was causing that.

up grade YOUR shit, won't be a problem

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.

Not real problems here. FF rocks.

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.

I'm happy enough with my FF. :)

Na :winkwink: FF runs fine with over 100 tabs open :thumbsup 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.

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.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

firefox works fine for me

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

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

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.

seriously its a fucking serious memory hog :(

yep, that's exactly what I do.

Lol idiot

Says who, a post whore from 2006?
get out more kid.

definately has memory management problems ... bad flash will send the thing climbing till it hits pagefiles. great browser, just needs to get that under control and its over.

FF kicks ass, just restart it every few hours and you will be fine..
