Seamonkey starts off OK for sure. Memory usage low, lower than most other browsers on start-up. As browsing continues, memory usage grows and grows, getting up to 500,000K, then higher, up to 750,000K or more.  Then, often crashes and freezes. And this is when only a few tabs are opened.  The

Ah. I wonder what command it is using to tell it to automatically relaunch. Does it work when SM is stuck and automatically tell its startup's prompt to force exit the stuckage and relaunch? I get those once in a while with seamonkey.exe process stuck even though I quit SM earlier. On

Unfortunately this is my experience, too (on 64-bit linux) I typically keep 8-10 tabs open, which a t the end of a day typically means SM2.49.5 uses about 1-1.2 GB RAM. With SM2.53.3 this balloons to 2.5-3GB - much higher. There are also perceivable delays to switch between tabs. I am not

Apples and oranges. IE is build into Windows and uses internal functions which are not reported by the memory usage. It also does not support many newer web features which are unfortunately memory hungrier. SM 64 bit is around 300 MB from start with a few add-ons. x86 50 to 100 MB less. Tom
