Firefox for me can chew up to 400MB if I keep using it for more than 5days without closing.



I was browsing with firefox the other day, and suddenly I noticed my PC started to use the pagefile, very very heavily.
I thought "WTF?" (I have 2 GB of RAM, so there was plenty of memory available), and opened the Task Manager... Firefox was eating a lovely 1.7 GB of RAM... :lol: :lol:

I have a screenshot of the event... I'll post it when I get back home. :wink:

I saw in HardOCP some article about IE being more secure than Firefox... Didn't care to read it, though.

I'm happy with Firefox. :wink:

I've found the article.

Anyway, it's from a blog. I don't buy it.
Most of the people that left a comment didn't buy it either.

Didn't even know until the focking thing downloaded itself and asked me to restart it. :lol:

Jeez I love these professional mobs that allow dumb-arsed, lazy-arsed, convict-arsed dudes like myself to have their product for free and they update it for me, without me having to do jackshite.

Life is grand!

Not unlike Avast; just terrific!

Hey sod, here's your IE security:

Zero Day exploit being used to infect PCs

I guess IE is the safest after all ... :roll:

I've been using IE 7RC1 Beta since it came out.. I like it, aside from it using 110MB of memory to run...

110 MB... That's nothing compared to my 1.7 GB Firefox. :wink:

Of course, with so many tabs, you should be using a 24" widescreen monitor and Firefox at full screen... :wink:

Mine is working just fine so far... Maybe it's an issue of your PC.

I think maybe you're right because the same thing happens in windows and in linux, firefox just closes unexpectedly.

Good morning Dave. Until, as they will in version 7, MS changes the way IE handles ActiveX it will always prove to be a nightmare. It's not just the fact that IE has a large market share that prompts so many to find vulnerabilities in the code, it's the fact it has so many that is the real problem. With your large brain I'm surprised you use IE, or any other browser, at all. I'd have thought you'd simply grab the page's source, read it and render the page in your head.

Did you catch any of the 'Bug a day' releases from HD Moore during July? He found hundreds of ways to crash Internet Explorer and, to a lesser extent, other browsers. I think that over all Opera held up the best. I'm sure a quick google will clue you up, sorry give you something to read and refute.

I'd like to see how many x.x.x.x versions are they going to release until Firefox 2.
Maybe they're holding it up until Vista and IE 7 are ready.

Ha! There's a Firefox 2 RC1 already! 8)

Maybe they'll beat IE 7!

Right now I've installed Firefox 2.0 RC1. So far so good.

Much "Vista looking".
