[citation][nom]acyuta[/nom]I have gone back to default usage of FF since v5 (after using chrome for most of 2010), simply because I support FF and it has gone better.However, memory usage is still behind FF.The biggest issue is that if some memory intensive app is running (like syncing, copying or acronis), clicking on FF to open takes the longest time. At that time, only chrome opens (IE also fails). This is with 10GB of DDR3 1333, and a core i7-950 CPU.[/citation]
firefox uses more memory on one tab than the rest, but on many tabs it uses less.
[citation][nom]lordstormdragon[/nom]Again, I urge everyone with memory issues to start using MemoryFox, a free Add-On. I'm not affiliated in any way, but when you've got the options to configure your browser any way you like, you may as well use them!It's really nice to be able to configure your software and add functionality, something the Firefox community has always excelled at.[/citation]
im using memory fox on full system. some applications dont like that, but they never did run great after a period of not using them so i wont hold it against it. it makes chrome with 40~tabs take less than 200mb of ram.
