Hi, I only started this thread for one reason really : I'm on a machine with only 256MB RAM (WinXP) so obviously when RAM runs low the machine runs poorly. I've noticed firefox can consume A LOT of ram. Before I closed it FF was consuming about 100 MB with peak usage of about 130 MB -FOR A WEB BROWSER-. This seems insanely high IMHO. Right now I got opera going with three tabs and it's using about 50 MB, 1/2 of what the fox was using with the same three tabs open. I'ma use opera for a bit and see how it do I've had opera for a while and used them on and off for years but some WYSIWG editors and other advanced web features don't work in opera. thoughts ? (besides trying to justify/explain firefox's memory issues, i know a few of the reasons it consumes a lot of ram)
FF is a hog! I've been using Opera more lately because Dreamweaver8 and Firefox 1.5.4 are giving me huge problems when open at the same time.
