too many plugins?

Are you running out of memory?
If not then ignore it.

If he ran out of memory then how could he remember it?

Deactivate your plugin/extensions and see if it keeps doing it. If not, add them one by one and find the guilty one(s).

You might want to consider using pale moon. It is a performance optimized build of firefox done by a third party.

can i ask what exactly palemoon is ? does quake live work on it ? is it less heavy then firefox ?

light weight ff/yes/yes

It is a performance optimized build of firefox done by a third party.

From their frontpage it's just firefox source code compiled with fine tuned configuration and aggressive compiler optimizations. Basically you get firefox without some exotic functionalities that won't run on older CPUs but should perform better on new ones.

Why settle for a basic build of your Firefox browser on Windows Operating Systems when you can have one that is specifically made for getting the most out of your system? Mozilla does not provide optimized browser packages for Windows, meaning you may be losing speed and efficiency when you use your browser; and truth be told, most people use their browsers all the time! That needs to change, so, here is the Pale Moon project: A custom-built and optimized Firefox-based browser for Windows. Make sure to get the most speed and efficiency out of your browser!

there are lots of third party builts of firefox, not many have a website up though. see mozilla's forums: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=42

i'd be slightly wary of someone so exclamation mark heavy :d

just installed, holy shit this fast compared to ff with the same plugins

Does this support the pluggins and all?

yes, most of the useful plugins work.

using mozilla is just stupid

just saying

browser elitist!!!

memory leaks, use another browser.

I cant even browse up and down this page at the moment

It seems it happens when there are videos involved, the memory starts going up

Use Adblock Plus maybe?

I do

ah yes, the mythical Firefox memory leak that i never had

been using Firefox since 1.0 and i have the same profile since 2.0 (well.. it's like Ship of Theseus by now)

my best advice: don't use the default tab manager, use one that flushes memory in a more dynamic manner.

i use Tab Mix Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ , besides the advantage i pointed out earlier it also has an insane amount of customizations to tab usage and behavior (i hate those faggots that still click on the New Tab button each time they want to create a new tab, instead of autocreate on entering a new URL in the address bar)

Just installed it and it's already on 500+mb usage

try uninstalling it and reinstalling the latest version. save your bookmarks first.

it's the plugincontainer.exe man! that thing is cancer. google how to disable it and you'll be fine.

Or do what I did and switch to Opera/Chrome! =)

Obligatory first hit on google post:

I've had the same problem for years. Closing Firefox via task manager 5-10 times a day. The problem is that firefox does not close itself properly.

It's really annoying, but I've gotten use to it over the years because there is no alternitive. IE is shit, Chrome is shit ... everything is shit, including Firefox itself.

This is terrible and getting on my nerves.

The last good version of FF was 2.x(.x). After that it started getting as bloated as Adobe software.

bloated with what?
