My Firefox is also a hog plus with the addons it takes ages to load, so thats why I've just primarily to Chrome.

It takes up 120mg on mine but i have enough ram that I really don't care.

Last week it was fine and now its very slow and worst of all there is no addons running or spyware,viruses..etc on the pc.

This is normal FF does use a lot of memory.

And guys Chrome is just as bad, you must remember that is is Sandboxed so you must add up all your Chrome.exe's to get the true memory usage.

Check this out (4 tabs open = 3 MyBB 1 News 24 :

Browser Private Shared Total Private Mapped
Chromium 2.0.172.31 81,612k 6,402k 88,014k 78,264k 25,112k

To get this:

1. Right click on chrome in the task bar.
2. Select Taskmanager
3. Stats for nerds (at the bottom)
4. Stop telling me how efficient Chrome is

Ok i did some digging and tweaked ff which is using 10mb less...damnit

For me it's about how fast chrome's UI is and how much more efficient it feels. I don't mind the few MB's of RAM, but Chrome is way faster than FF.

But it's way faster than Firefox even at start up, takes few secs from the cold, and Sandbox helps with not losing every open tab.

Its like complaining that photoshop takes longer to open compared to MS Paint.

Chrome is like unrefined gold whilst Firefox seems a tin foil covered rock, you just have to remember that Roman wasn't built in a day.
