each time i look into my task manager firefox seems to increase its mem usage slowly. y is that? it would start as ~20,000 K then soon its at 50,000 then 70,000 then 100,000 and the highest its gotten was 300,000. also in task manager under performance the PF usage would increase as well. got up to 1.96GB one time.. ill ive been doing is surfing the web. and as it increases, my comp seems to slo down more. y is FF using soo much memory?:confused: is there a way i can stop/prevent this?? could it be my FF extensions? all i have is adblock, fasterfox, flashgot, and the weather thing.
 
any ideas on how to fix this? its happened a couple of times today. FF just keeps gettting higher and so does my PF usage. my pf usage is at 1.36GB right now and i dont know y. i added up all the processe's mem usage and it comes to about 500 with FF at over 100,000 K and when FF is at 30,000K when i start it up again the PF is still 1.36GB...
 
I started a thread on the same topic some time ago.
I highly doubt it has anything to do with what sites I have open. but rather it has to do with how long they've been open. Right now as I type this I have 2 windows open and the mem. usage is at 306,524k
highest it's ever gotten was around 500,000k. I'm slowly switching to Opera now, haha.
 
yeah that's happening to me right now. I'm using FF with 2 tabs and half hour ago its memory usage was 40k and now its at 47k...wierd
 
This seems to happen fairly often with applications on windows, which is why you should reboot every few days(I'm not bashing).

Of course Firefox is known for it's memory leakage. One of the culprits is believed to be the flash plugin. Either remove it or restart firefox every once in a while.

I wish there was a better solution :( .
