[56K Warn] Firefox being a resource hog
Moderator: General Moderators
Heh - I had it up to 252MB yesterday.
I've heard the source of the problem is the fact that FF keeps a history of all the pages you've visited in RAM. So regardless of your current tab state, all (or a big chunk of them) of the pages you've viewed in the current browser session are still stored in RAM.

Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
