Usage has gone down since I last posted by 20k, so I guess the leak is gone after all.

hopefully this version will crash less than 10 times a day

It's your system/OS installation's fault. FF 1.5 has never crashed here.Fender wrote:hopefully this version will crash less than 10 times a day

No, I've had it crash on mine a lot too. Not a lot as in several times a day, but I'd say at least once every 3 or 4 days, which is a lot to me.
Sometimes it will crash a few times in the same day as well. I think it has to do with certain websites, TBH, but I've never been able to narrow it down to check.

I installed the update at home this morning, and left the browser open, with two windows open and a total of 5 tabs.
If I did this with the old version, I would come home and see it with at least 256megs of memory usage - sometimes nearly a gig if I had more tabs open - so I'll see how it looks tonight.

Just now got around to reading this, thanks for the link. :ico14:dzjepp wrote:You guys should really read the memory related thread at mozillazine: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=354828
One of the best tweaks to apply is when you minimize ff to the taskbar, it frees up memory. It still applies even after updating to 1.5.0.1
So once in a while or after a long browsing session, say you leave the computer, minimize it and come back and you get a fresh memory footprint.
I'm using two of the extensions with known memory leaks (Adblock and SessionSaver), so that's obviously not helping.

Just an FYI some advertising does lock and crash mozilla I ran into it on one or two of the sites I visited, I adblocked

And it stopped 90% of my crashes

i'm doubting that's a FF issue or there'd be more people screaming about that than the memory leaks.R00k wrote:No, I've had it crash on mine a lot too. Not a lot as in several times a day, but I'd say at least once every 3 or 4 days, which is a lot to me.

I'm guessing it is an issue w/ one of the extensions I have installed. I uninstalled several of them, but the ones I have left are really core to how I use FF now.
I experience hard crashes and lockups where FF becomes completely unresponsive. I had no issues before 1.5.

Nope. I upgraded to 1.5.0.1 yesterday and have had 2 full days w/o a lockup or crash. Thanks for the expert opinion though! :icon14:Oeloe wrote:It's your system/OS installation's fault. FF 1.5 has never crashed here.Fender wrote:hopefully this version will crash less than 10 times a day

Mine friends Firefox is broken to shit.
You can not press the enter key, after typing the adress in the URL box.
He is so stubborn that he is still using it, broken like that.
Ba HAHA. So every time I go there I use his MS Xplorer.
