Bloatedness?
It is only a 7.1Mb download. IE 8.0 is 15.9Mb.
I really must dig out that old browser I was given............ fits on a 1.44Mb floppy with room to spare. :D............... serious! it was a university project a friend's son did.
MsM, please stop downloading these:
We know you don't speak Occitan :lildevil:Quote:
Beta releases for the Bulgarian, Esperanto, Estonian, Latvian, Occitan, and Welsh languages are available for testing.
I was talking memory bloat. :P Leaving it run all day and it starts at 135MB and goes to 250MB (about 12 hours). Me thinks it's got a slow leak :)
Ah! memory leak, now I understand.
At the moment it is at 115Mb, and that will be from about 8 hours ago. I am talking the latest release here.
Open it up and have 6tabs open and let the browser stay open for longer then 48hours.
ff can be an amusing thing to play with. :D
Lets put it this way...
Ever since firefox 2 and up rolled along, I've been seeing less and less people suggesting to download and use that awful browser.
It's pretty much true of all Mozilla software. Apparently open-source developers don't believe in destroying variables. I used Blunderbird for a year. Precious few features out-of-the-box, used roughly 4 times the memory of any other e-mail program I've tried, and crashed on me twice, two different machines and operating systems, and I lost my mail each time. Mozilla's brilliance lies in marketing, more than anything else. Their profiles corrupt with a healthy sneeze.Quote:

To revert to MsM's intelligent comment:
I fired it up at 07.00hrs this morning and it was using ~90Mb.............. I let it run 'til now (11.42hrs) and it is at ~93Mb. That looks a little promising to me at least.

I don't like letting electrical stuff run overnight unless I have to, but I guess I can continue this experiment up to 24.00hrs?
At work on Monday.................their electricity bill and their building to burn down :D
Don't know if it matters but it is XP Pro SP3................ I will try a shorter test on a Win2000 box later today.
I hate having a heap of browser windows open so tabbed browsing is a must have for me.Quote:

i usually forget about the browser and get occupied watching pr0n ::sperm::
:umph:shouldn't matter just make sure that each tab has some flash ads some graphics and it should slowly start leaking memory and when you go to use the browser after a few hours it usually starts to get a little hectik :killcompuQuote:

I have to have tabs. Generally no less than 32 of em open at any given time.

I have quite a number of tabs open at any given time and it doesn't seem to go over 100. I'm using Vista fully updated. However on a mates PC running XP FF shoots up over 250.
Cant explain it though.
You answered your own question. But...Quote:

Would it be any surprise that it's simply a lame web browser?Quote:

Hmmm I suppose you use Opera or Safari ?Quote:

I realize Firefox is in much more widespread use than Opera, but you would think I would have received at least one by now.
Joe i just crashed opera while trying to view the forum. I had a crap load up tabs open was using the download manager, and refreshing RSS feeds at a 0sec interval.
now i carn't find that kewl pr0n site that nihil linked me to. And i'm holding you responsible as it only happened when i tried replyin' to a thread here. :D ;)
LOL, you wouldn't say that was intentional, now would you?;)
Yes......Maybe.............it's not the point though :pQuote:

Meh, Im using Opera now so I might join the ff bashers ...
Curious thing I had recently. Without fail, FF has been inconsistent about saving cookies. So I did a search and found that renaming/removing the cookies.sqlite file might help. Well, lo and behold, it also bumped down the memory usage. Rather interesting result.
That's been bugging me too, on the few occasions I've used it. I checked "apply my decision to all cookies from this site" but it continues to prompt over and over.
From the research I did, the fix above will address that. While a simple fix, they really need to address this in the long run.Quote:

I recently noticed the severity of the memory leaks recently at work. Because of what I do at work, I alway have 2 browser windows open and 4-6 tabs on each. If i leave them open over 48 hours it will go from 120~ to 220+Quote:

Anyhow it took a bit to get the browser to open back up, and it took a little time to get each page to react to a refresh.
this was on a quad core machine, with 2Gb ram so it wasn't on a old pen2 or something..
I've never even seen IE waste that much memory.
I would have to agree. I am using FF right now, it has been sitting for a couple of days with 5-7 tabs open at any given time... using about 220MB right now. I think I may switch to Opera, or maybe try Chrome. I had read that Chrome's EULA was a little dodgy shortly after it came out. Anyone have an opinion on that? I know Google doesn't have the best privacy practices... :)Quote:

However it does frequently free up memory by swapping to virtual memory, so that gets rather high after it's open a long long time.
ROFL, come on Spec, be fair...IE probably doesn't because it's only tied directly to Windows and we all know Windows completely beats everyone in memory waste. Firefox was good in the beginning but as the updates have come along, things have gone downhill.Quote:
