Certain pages seem to take a lot of memory. I've seen Flash Player up
above 2.5GB. Seamonkey goes to around 500MB.

Closing the pages I suspect to be causing the trouble makes the memory
usage go way down.

It seems to occur when there are ads that look like gifs, ie they just
repeat over and over.  I usually see messages in the message area that
say things like Waiting for ..

I don't want to block the ads.

A good site to see this problem is www.fark.com, although it's not the
only one.  It doesn't always happen. Ads that are unchanging, which I
suspect are either jpegs or pngs,  don't seem to cause the problem.

My version of Explorer doesn't seem to have the same problems although
it has popped up some message about scripts being disabled and it
sometimes leaves the advertising area on www.fark.com blank, so maybe
it's detecting something.

The memory usage slows down Seamonkey's response time making for a
less than pleasant browsing experience.

TIA for any suggestions.


lruss said he/she didn't want to block the ads.

If the issue is .gif animations doing an infinite loop:

Edit - Preferences - Privacy  Security - Images.  Under Animated 
images should loop click once or never.

As I said before, I never repeat myself.
