(K/k is 3-4 orders of magnitude off from M. You're welcome.)
Yeah, yeah, yeah...it shows up in task manager as 200,000k, 0r 200MB. It was early in the morning. :p

Mine is using 278M. I have quite a few addons, and currently have 6 tabs open.

The only problem I have is the amount of time it takes to load 3.5 Beta 4. It takes around a minute from double clicking to showing my home page.

Cheers,
Rick

My FF 3.5 Beta 4 shows up in about 10 seconds on my laptop, but on my really old stationary not-defragmented-in-ages it takes around a minute too.

Is anyone with high memory usage using the Google toolbar? And those with low mem usage, perhaps not? The only 2 extensions I have are "smoothscroll" and the Google toolbar...
I disabled Google Toolbar and have been running for about two days now with 243M RAM usage. I think I found the culprit. I couldn't go more than two hours before closing with GTB open.

I have found all Google desktop apps I've used to be incredible memory hogs that cause about 90% of my problems with system stability.

My FF problem has always been processor usage, not memory. It appears completely unable to handle scripting without going bonkers, and I've disabled scripts on flyertalk.com because FF would start running away.

Similar story here - 10 add-ons, 13 tabs currently open, which is typical, and usually open all day. 204MB right now and rarely over 300.

Hmmm never once had a problem like this with FF (3.0.10 currently). I use it continually, have always 8-10 tabs open, run ......., xMarks, ForecastFox and I never once have an issue with memory usage (~150M +/- 10 always). It starts almost instantly (<2sec) and CPU usage is minimal.

I don't know what I do differently? :confused:

I've had it open for about 3 hours (after it crashed on me). 2 tabs now open, 328 mbs in usage. FF crashes every other day on me now. 3.0.1.0

I have changed to Chrome and no memory leak so far. :)

3.0.10 with:

.......
....... filterset.g updater
bugmenot
fasterfox (hacked)
oldbar
quickproxy
greasemonkey.

Typically 1 or two windows, 2-20 tabs. Never broaches 200mb--I'm sitting at around 186 right now.

3.0.10
10 add-ons

184MB

My problem is not memory usage but that Greasemonkey does not work for me under 3.0.11.

It is installed and I can edit scripts - had to get it recognized again because it had disappeared off the face of my PC.
