I dont see any new features added to the latest versions, instead they could have updated the older versions!

I think all they want is to align the version number with IE as quickly as they can. ;)

I still use firefox3.6 due to idm**;-) new version just catches me and disable idm:-D

IDM addon has been updated. Uninstall IDM addon old version first. Update Firefox to version 6. Then go here: Internet Download Manager Integration guide for Firefox

And click install.

The more RAM you have, the more FF/Opera end up consuming. After about two hours of usage, Opera started consuming 512Mb of RAM and FF was at 480MB. :lol: I have 6GB btw, will downgrade to 4GB and check again.

Nope If you want I can give a screenshot, Its his genetic problem.

Give screenshot of FF 6, also how much RAM do you have in your system? I am also using FF 6 on a system with 1GB RAM and the memory consumption is near 140MB. I'll check by using for longer and with more tabs also.

In my case, it's 465MB with 19 tabs and 19 extensions. System has 4gb RAM on 32-bit Vista Business. No need to panic, I think.

Yeah, seems reasonable enough. Btw I only use Adblock Plus, Adblock Plus Element Hiding Helper and Adblock Plus popup addon.

It's look like the extensions are the culprit. Will test the 9.0 nightly on Monday without any extensions. (It has most of the extensions incompatible anyway :().

I'm using Win 7 32 bit with 4 GB RAM. I have taken this screen shot with 18 tabs + 14 extension + 3 script running in grease monkey.

Then you are the lucky one. Just now my FF is reading 540MB after 3 hours of continuous browsing with 5 tabs open. :shock:(have 14 add-ons installed ;) )
How much RAM? As I said earlier, I am getting 140MB of RAM usage on a system with 1GB RAM when I open 5-10 tabs and three addons.


@ NIGHTMARE: That may be the work of some addon or script. Anyway, I switch between Opera 11.5 and FF. Both consume more or less equal amounts of RAM.

I used to use this addon: *addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fastestfox-browse-faster/
It doubled the RAM consumption. Suddenly FF was consuming over 500MB RAM when it used to consume around 200-230MB. Removed it and problem solved.

@ NIGHTMARE: You should see which addon is causing the problem. Could you list your addons? I'll install those on my FF and check.
