**Xodiac21** · 01-14-2006, 08:10 PM

**Racer_x124** · 01-14-2006, 08:13 PM

Firefox is about 41mb with 5 tabs open

**peenee ks** · 01-14-2006, 10:31 PM

telling me how much ram ur app uses does NOT help me!

**Simpson17** · 01-14-2006, 10:38 PM

m reading 41megs with 6 tabs open

**peenee ks** · 01-15-2006, 10:26 AM

is there any way to configure ff to use ONLY the hard drive and NO ram (alright maybe a little ram but only up to 10mb) i dont care if it is slower just as long as it doesnt COMPLETELY kill ALL of my ram!

Hardrive · 01-15-2006, 10:49 AM

ya, turn on caching in windows

**Racer_x124** · 01-15-2006, 11:43 AM

seriously ram is only like 14$ for 124mb?

**whitehawk** · 01-15-2006, 11:50 AM

I have 2 tabs open, 53k. No slowing down

**peenee ks** · 01-16-2006, 06:20 PM

i Dont Care How Much Ram Costs Or Whatever!!! Just Tell Me How To (nearly) disable Firefox From Using The Ram!!!

Alosis · 01-17-2006, 05:15 AM

Honestly, lashing out is not going to get you help. Seems to me you are having an ID 10 T error, and not a firefox error. Everyone (including myself) has no problems with firefox. My advice to you is to either take the advice already givin or shut the front door.

I'm pretty computer literate, but WTF is "ID 10 T" ??? I just thought I would ask here first, since I see only 2 people on this ENTIRE forum will help me...I guess I will have to ask else-where.

Oh, if I didn't already say this, I have my windows cache/virtual memory set to use a couple of gigs.

**Jammie** · 01-18-2006, 09:38 AM

lol, an ID 10 T error is (if you know your 1337 like I do) an idiot

**Ten_In_2010** · 01-18-2006, 09:47 AM

Heh, what do I care, I've got a gig of ram.

**NeilR** · 01-18-2006, 11:02 AM

Firefox does have some memory leaks.. they tend to be in the plugins. DO you view a lot of media files using browser pugins? which ones do you have loaded? Does restarting Firefox clear up the memory?

Other leaks I know about stem from my development work, anyone who deals with MS Server Reporting or Analysis services know about them.. it's really bad.

While you don't care about others' RAM usage, it might help to now how much you're actually using..

**Jammie** · 01-18-2006, 11:06 AM

My firefox is using 64,000k of ram out of 256mb of ram, and 500mb of disk space. I really need more ram, but this is on my laptop, and I already 1 gig of ram on my gaming pc

**Ten_In_2010** · 01-18-2006, 02:40 PM

Hey NeilR, what's so special about being a global mod? Does any other mod not have the power to ban foreigners?

hmmmm plug-ins is it??? My firefox uses my ram up... 512 i got on here, 1gb on my laptop.

**Ten_In_2010** · 01-18-2006, 02:47 PM

Well, I remember you saying a while ago that your name is now red because you're a global mod. What's the difference between you and say, DFS? (At least I don't think he's a global mod, whatever that means.)

Ohh, now I see where you're coming from..
Global Mods moderate everywhere "in the forums.. not the world

". DFS is PSP/360 mod (we all do Off-Topic).

Anyhow.. back on topic.

What I am basically asking is, is there any way to make firefox primarily use the hard drive and none-to-little ram on my computer?
