voidpharoh Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Firefox 0.9.3 = 14,000K Approx. Firefox 1.0 PR = 45,000K Approx. But then again, I'm not even using more than 1/3 of my total memory at any one time (unless I'm playing games), so a high memory cost for a good browsing experience is a fine trade-off for me.

Salgoth Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Firefox is 47 with two tabs open on this forum. IE is 31 with two windows open on this forum.. I don't have a problem with FF memory usage levels. As found on most non-MS applications, its pretty hard to beat MS when it comes to optimizing memory usage. They own all the underlying code so I can't really see FF ever beating them at that game. If it used twice as much memory I'd stil love it.

Nebuchadnezzar Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 So what Opera uses 53mb for 10 tabs. People nowdays have anyway 512+mb ram, so why care? If there's free memory, why not use it? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/220431-firefox-using-most-memory/page/2/#findComment-584637847 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme $niper Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Eh usually if im surfing a lot, regardless of tabs, its at least 35mb with FF.

cork1958 Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 thats nothing compared to opera... ive noticed lately that it takes up around 80 megs.... (just lately did i figure that out) in the resource monitor...so just be happy that your firefox doesnt take up as much resources as opera... Hmm! My Opera is only taking up 12megs where as IE is taking 24. Both with just 1 window/tab open. There have a couple threads on this subject before. Seems FF does take the most on most systems.

Prasanth Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 well if that isnt the weirdest thing... when you minimized (as stated above) mine went down to 1.5MBs Its actually a feature on windows. You can minimize any app and the mem usages goes down.

Xtreme $niper Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Yeah one thing i noticed with Linux was that the mem usage stayed constant minimized or maximized. I didnt like that.
