I'm also quite lazy at closing old tabs, and I usually have always ~30-40 of them open, but FF is still below 1G RES (even after activating each). I guess that you are visiting some sites for which FF doesn't free memory early enough; I've seen this for some sites heavily (and badly) using AJAX.
The company's CRM is AJAX heavy and I keep four tabs open there. Our phone system 'switchboard' uses Flash (ugh!) to render it's queue. I keep one tab open there. I normally have two or three tabs open to client websites. Not infrequently, that grows to five or six. I keep two or three tabs open at ~/carlh (documentation and testing pages.) Finally two or three tabs open for search / research.
Up until recently, I could do all of these things without triggering the behavior. I suppose my next step will be disabling all the add-ons and enabling one at a time as a test. I was hoping to avoid this; it's like the mechanic repairing his car at work.
Maybe one of these web applications has a new bug with not freeing memory. In Chrome, there is a built-in task manager where you can track the memory footprint of each page. In FF, you can try to understand "about:memory". Have a nice day, Berny -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
