Re: firefox memory leaks

de "john" <-> 04/08/2006 06:08

After opening 20+ tabs with pages on FF, the ram it needed jumped to over 1
GIG and brought my pc to a crawl... had to alt-ctrl-del and terminate FF...
This has never happened with avantbrowser...FF is not that good with the
exception of its extension capability.

Opera should be where FF is....it deserved the number of users FF gets. The
only reason why Opera
did not catch on was perhaps its "different" interface.

(I have to add though that this may have been a quicktime problem, I removed
the QT plugin and I will test again)
