Firefox 3 Ram Usage

[springbokkie]

Hi all,

Just would like to know what amount of memory FF uses on your PC? I currently have two FF windows open, with a max of 6 tabs in both of them.
My memory usage is 100MB.

Mine uses 50000K. I have 4 tabs open, all fully downloaded, in one window.

I just had 4 tabs open: 90MB
The opened another 11 tabs and it increased to 93MB

Did the same as you, 2 windows with 6 tabs each, also 93MB

Cool, then mine is roughly 50MB. How come all your results are in the 90s?

Depends on what your viewing. Those p0rn pics take up a lot of memory

Maybe this will help a bit:

I suspect that with IE, you can't just look at ie.exe (or whatever it's called) and work out total memory consumption. Some of its "components" are already running, before you have even started your browser.

Anyway, there are many articles that claim(prove) that Firefox 3 beats just about every other browser, hands down, when it comes to memory management. Here's one from March 2008: http://arstechnica.com/open-source/...a-diet-eats-less-memory-than-ie-and-opera.ars

Try Firefox optimizer, it works wonders

119mb with two tabs, one window.

 

[Ghost02]

94mb - 8 tabs

Why optimize it, if it uses 100mb of ram does it really matter? when 1 gb memory is 150 bucks.

 

[mh348]

It uses more memory because of all the Add-ons that are installed.
