FF 4 a memory pig?
-
Has anyone else noticed this? I've got 2-3 tabs open, one of them gmail, and if memory serves, it looks like FF4 is using at least an extra 100Mb more memory up to almost 400Mb of ram. Sad if true.

It's not just 4, all versions of FF I've used are memory hungry in comparison to other browsers.

I only have this one tab open, and Chrome is using more than 150MB... Just opened up CNN.com, and it jumped to around 210MB... I think all browsers are bloated these days.

True - I was hoping that progress might mean finally resolving this - since I can recall hearing multiple times, across various versions of moz/ff that this was a priority. Apparently they're too busy "innovating" ways to let me skin my browser. Sigh...

I agree the memory usage is unacceptable but I've come to rely on FF for so much. Save me I'm addicted. :)

IE9 with 8 tabs including yours truly CP, tomshardware,hardwarezone, cnn, gpupdate.net,stackoverflow and some other locally stuff => 260MB. I summed it up cause you see 8 ie processes/instances as i'm sure you are aware off. And they've been open for quite a while at least weeks. I don't have the habbit of turning it off. I leave it on. Just when it starts feeling slow I restart it(wewen). This is my personal desktop I'm talking about.
All the best, Dan

That's a matter of opinion. It has APIs, plugins, sandbox, VM,... that looks closer to an OS than a browser. But I agree, FF is a memory hog, which is why I never liked it.

I have found that almost every browser is a memory hog if left open for too long (days, weeks) They never see to release any.

Yes I have noticed this too I leave my comp on nearly all the time. And it's leaking I'm almost 100% sure of it as i have nearly 10-15 tabs open all the time. mostly for MSDN and company Wiki articles, plus bug tracking. James Binary Warrior.

I'm using Windows XP Pro SP3 with FF 4 and I have 4 tabs open and I am using an average of 138MB of memory. Are you sure that this is not an OS issue?

Yes it is. I "feel" it's even worse than 3.6, but for some reason it feels much snappier than before, so I don't care as I have plenty of RAM.

That's a good point, but you have to wonder how far it's strayed from it's original purpose.

A lot of the memory is used by images/videos from rotating ads X| (and the memory from the ones rotated out don't get released)

It would be interesting to see a graph of this (the memory usage) for a given session.

Because of it's most secure browser on the planet, this is just a security overhead... :rolleyes: Get more RAM if you need more security... And don't you dare opening multiple tabs with epic FLASH objects in it... :)
