Dear all,
I notice the last few days that firefox has developed an appetite for memory. Starting FF with one page uses between 650-750 MB, with three pages It is using already 1.7+GB!! Yesterday I had around 5-6 pages with a memory consumption of 3.5 GB!!
This is of course ridiculous and starts me thinking of using another, more modest, browser.
So, what is going on?
Regards, Frans.
I have replaced Firefox in the repos with Firefox Nightly. The speed improvement is absurdly good. You may want to give it a shot if you can find replacement for your essential extensions.
