What is wrong with it. It continually gets bigger taking up more memory as I surf the net untill it hits about 240 megs (!!!) then my comp starts runnings slow because of lack of memory then when it his 256 megs it crashes. Its like it keeps old pages I viewed in memory even after I close them. I can "fix" it by closing and reopening firefox but that is a pain is thee anyway to stop this from happening.
I am using firefox version 1.0 I have Gmail notifier, super drag and go, and tab browser preferences extensions all latest versions
actually this minimize restore thing doesnt fully work it just reduces the size while it is minimized and for a short time when it is back up it jumps right back up in ram usage as soon as you try to save an image (or possibly other things - havent tested) but not always
>>I read this thread this morning... And only an hour later I had the same problem for the first time
Yup I only started experiencing this problem a few weeks ago too, I mean it would get big befor but would never crash until recently
I have discovered a better solution though, since it only seems to get so big as to crash when I a downloading many images but didnt used to do this i wondered what was different anyway the different thing is that the images i have been getting lately have been off sites that link directly to an image (I think it displayes .jpg at the end of the url) whereas before it was to a page with an image on it. so if you avoid those sites it may be fine also if you tel firefox to automatically clear the contents of that download manager thing every time it sucessfuly downloads that helps a lot
