I downloaded the most recent update of firefox and it is leaking and starts using crazy amounts of ram.



anyone else encountering this problem

hmmm...I updated mine too but I never really payed attention to it's memory usage. Right now it's at 72,240k...normal?

FireFox is pretty memory hungry, but 540000 KB indicates something wrong. I presume you have only 2 tabs open? I have 11 tabs and its only using 190000KB of memory.

 

[Cousin Patty]

around 99,400K usage with 4 tabs open here.

 

[PYROphonez]

I haven't had this. Mine's at around 65,000 k with 4 tabs. Have you had it running for a long time?

 

[darkninja67]

49,276K here with 5 tabs open.

5 tabs, 51 megs rounding up. my only problem with FF has been the occasional CPU leak it has. every version i've used has had it, and i've been using it for probably going on 2 years now.

Six tabs, sitting at about 108,000kb. Firefox is surprisingly stable for me.

What plugins are you using?
Actually it must be your own special problem as the developers would never release an update leading to extrem mem-hunger!

Well if nothing helps do this:

START->RUN: "%appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\"

then rename the only folder that you should find there:

Profiles to Profiles_0

Which should make your old profile invisible and after next start, firefox should create a new profile.

Now, a folder named 'Profiles' next to Profiles_0 will appear there.

Erase this new folder ("Profiles") and then rename your old profile folder "Profile_0"->"Profile"

That will RESTORE your OLD profile...

That way you can find out if the problem lies in your profile or plugins or if there's really something abnormal with new Firefox's version...

So far mine's not using more RAM. I use about 3 plugins.

 

[xnothingpoetic]

wow I just looked at mine and is says 321,036 K

last time i used to look at it, it would be around 45 K

But i am experiencing no problems at all, seems to be stable and fast for me.

btw i have 2 gigs of ram, right now 57% is being used. only running firefox w/ 4 tabs(one of them has my dinner on it

), is this normal? also NO plug-ins at all.

56,000kbs with four tabs opened. I only have 512mbs of ram though.

 

[wanderman]

the only plugin I am using is forecast fox. Still firefox should never use more ram the HL2.

 

[003]

57,732K here with 8 tabs open... and I also have a bunch of plugins, and I am running the latest 2.0.0.5 update.

A Firefox user once. Then I converted to Opera and never turned back.
