Re: OT - Firefox crashing
I just installed Firefox 1.5 and so far it seems much more stable. Memory usage seems to hover around 65-70k. I guess time well tell if Firefox is more friendly and plays nicer than it did. I was wondering if any of you have had problems with Firefox not releasing memory and crashing. There have been times I have seen Firefox using over 1 gig of ram! I have researched this and found it is a known bug. If others are having this problem I just wondered what you did, are you frustrated like me, and if you found a work around other than restarting Firefox.

Re: OT - Firefox crashing
Yup, my Firefox has been crashing too. It will suddenly die and give the Send Error Report dialog box. I will check to see how much ram it's using next time I run it. - Original Message - From: Stan Winchester [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Sent: Friday, December 02, 2005 5:14 PM Subject: OT - Firefox crashing I was wondering if any of you have had problems with Firefox not releasing memory and crashing.
