812210 2009-09-21 10:31:00 You mean of memory?


Doh! Of course - that's what I mean. It's been a long day.... 		johcar (6283)
812211 2009-09-21 10:39:00 Been using the same instance since 17.00 today just looked in Task Manager and:

Firefox.exe 118,744K

Remember I am using Portable version.

Get the portable version from here:

812212 2009-09-21 10:53:00 Being portable or not shouldn't affect memory consumption.. Blam (54)
812213 2009-09-21 11:08:00 I've never had any problems with memory consumption on any version of Firefox, installed or portable as far as I can remember. There is an add-on which reduces memory consumption in amongst the add-ons I've installed which activates everytime Firefox is minimized, not that I've been doing that. zqwerty (97)

812215 2009-09-21 11:18:00 There was memory over-usage problems in the past but newer version of Firefox do not have the problems some users experienced unless they continued to re install over old version without completely un-installing older versions and that is a fairly complex job unless you know where all the files and folders are and the locations in the registry. zqwerty (97)
