For those experiencing a "memory leak" in firefox....
 

ib ie & ff bashing :oh:

if firefox is using more than 100+ megs of memory on your computer... try this "fix"

Open Firefox and go to the Address Bar. Type in about:config and then press Enter.
Find, or search for browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers. Double click it, and set it to 0 (optional, prevents caching of pages for the back button)

Now Right Click in the page and select New -> Boolean.
In the box that pops up enter config.trim_on_minimize. Press Enter.
Now select True and then press Enter.
Restart Firefox.

What this does is move firefox to the page-file when minimized. memory usage drops down to 10, and settles back at ~60 megs or less when maximized again.

Try it.... you may notice a difference :o

Its at 43k right now :hs: :oh:

about the same here. when you open multiple tabs, then it starts to eat up more ram.

when playing that rasterworks game it was up to 400mbs :chuckles:

42k with 5 tabs.

62k :uhhok:

I opened and closed about 5-6 tabs. :hs: It usually goes over 100k when I am on Myspace of something and someone has a ton of videos going at the same time.

go to rasterworks and load up the game :chuckles:

302k:eek:

nice find.
I notice mine is set to -1.
here browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers. Double click it, and set it to 0

i visited a mew myspace sites, and it jumped to 150... visited a few different sites, and it still stayed at 150. minimize forefox, wait 5 seconds, and maximize it again and its back to it's usual ~50 megs.

Before 143500
After, minimized and it dropped about 100
Restart: 60k
