Firefox's memory leak personal habit solution

#1 Post by palmboy5 » Mon May 15, 2006 5:53 pm

open task manager and look at firefox's memory usage in Processes.

refresh a page.

look again.

so cut down on refreshing? :P

but for now im gonna try and make the refresh loop itself and see if i can make firefox take 1GB
