Any Firefox guru's here?
Anyone real good with Firefox here? Am having an issue with FF and have not found a descent way to get around it.
Simply put, its a memory hog after using it for a while. I open it up and usually have 4-5 browser windows open. Each browser window I have from 1-5 tabs open. Every time you open a new browser or tab it takes more memory from the system.
Problem is that when you close a tab or browser the system does not release the memory and after a while your system starts having problems. This is using XP.
My laptop is the worst and after it gets to 8-900,000k it starts to slow down. The desktop will work fine up to 1.300,000k then the same thing. Only way I can find to get it to release the memory it has grabbed is to "ctrl, alt, del" and close down Firefox then restart it and use the "Restore all windows" button to get back where I was.
Any suggestions?
