Nice!TJ: Anyone else using FireFox and getting their mem usage close to 1/2 gigabyte?

when it's using that much it means"switch off the internet, you've seen it all".
Firefox is a bit slapdash with its memory allocation when it comes to tabs, sessions and so on. Any video plugins and extension's you have running will add to it too (just running a quicktime file adds the whole running version of quicktime into firefox's memory - so there's 30Mb to start with)

Are you on 1.0.x or 1.5.x?I hear 1.5 hogs the memory rather a lot.

Haha mine neither!A gig just about covers everything.
But apparently the way 1.5 speeds up forwards/backwards history browsing is by saving what all the pages looked like in memory. And it needs a fair bit of memory to do that.
