| 653292 | 2008-03-27 08:46:00 | I have F1, Stuff, NZ City Personal page running all the time F/F is open. Maybe I should reduce those to see what occurs There is your problem, try closing the Stuff tab, when your CPU usage goes up & see if that helps. Maybe even try disabling flash & see how that goes. Let me know how you get on. |

| 653294 | 2008-03-27 09:44:00 | Good point with F/F. I may switch back to IE 6 (I'm on windows 2000). F/F uses 40MB memory on mine without any plugins installed apart from Flash and none others, I just redid my HDD. MSN Messenger uses 8MB on mine. |

| 653295 | 2008-03-27 09:52:00 | Get any Beta version of FF3 and see the difference. It is atleast 80-85% more efficient in terms of memory usage. Oh and also, FF's RAM usage is always going to look worse under how XP calculates it. Vista's Task Manager will give you a much better idea of how much it is ACTUALLY using. |

| 653296 | 2008-03-27 20:13:00 | Stu I have read "The other big cause of memory problems with Firefox is Flash… but apparently that was fixed in the latest Flash update." Just as a matter of interest Stu, how do you disable flash?? I also understand that F/f 3 is out soon and that will fix most problems. In the meantime I have disabled all Addons and will enable them one at a time to see if these are causing the problem. Also, you could be right about about Stuff so will see later if that is the culprit. Hey thanks guys/gals for your replies. Much appreciated. :thanks Smithie |

| 653297 | 2008-03-27 20:29:00 | Are you blocking any of the ads? Not on Press F1, but ad block is installed, and working on other sites, I have white listed PF1 as I did have problems with it loading if I blocked them. BUT I am also using more and more IE7 Pro, with no problems as even now PF1 sometimes has problems loading FF ( may just be mine) but it just updated yesterday to the latest version. IE7 Pro has more features I like as default than FF - hence its usage. |
