It may work on SM as well, as it's not adjusting part of the browser itself, but instead adjusting Java via the Java
Plug-In that most all browsers use, especially FF and SM.
====================================
<< Although the memory leak problem appears to have begun with the release of Firefox 12, it is actually not Firefox
that is causing the problem. The problem is your friend and mine, Sun Java, whose concept of a "next-generation plug
in" appears to be lag your computer to all hell.
Go to your control panel, double click Java, and review your settings.
There is an option [called] "Enable the next-generation java plug-in". Make
sure you uncheck that.
This fixed my Firefox memory problem (similar to those problems posted)
immediately.
You must disable the plug in through Java, it will override Firefox settings.
I would like to end this by saying I have always hated Java, and regret that it is
2012 and that it is still in use. >>

Hi, disabling this option has had no effect on my web browsing experience,
other than
1.) halving the memory usage by firefox.exe
2.) prevent firefox.exe process from still running after I have closed all
firefox windows and tabs
====================================
Again, this "recommended fix" may also assist SM browser users, and the fix may not adversely affect those of us that
want or need Java to work in our browsers.

I'm using SM 2.8... what version of Java or plug in would work with it, and what's the best way to get it installed?
I can't use the tools at BBR without Java which I do not have in Win7.
When I try to download it there, it tells me "Your browser does not support
Java"... end of the line.
