There are several solutions and settings that might help:

1) You can configure Firefox to release memory back into the system,

The secret is the "about:config page", which contains Firefox's configuration settings. You bring up this page by typing about:config into the address bar. Then right-click on the page itself, and from the popup menu, select New -> Boolean. In the New Preference Name dialog box, enter config.trim_on_minimize and click OK. Next, in the Enter Boolean value dialog box, choose True and click OK.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Or try this:

1. Open a new tab. Type "about:config" without quotes into the address bar and hit enter/click Go.
2. Right-click anywhere, select New, then Integer. In the dialog prompt that appears, type:
browser.cache.memory.capacity
3. Click OK. Another dialog prompt will appear. This is where you decide how much memory to allocate to Firefox. This depends on how much RAM your computer has, but generally you don't want to allocate too little (under 8MB), but if you allocate too much, you might as well not do this. A good recommended setting is 16MB or more. If you want 16MB, enter this value into the dialog prompt:
16384
(Why 16384 instead of 16000? Because computers use base-12 counting. Thus 16 megabytes = 16384 bytes. Likewise, if you want to double that and allocate 32MB, you'd enter 32768.)
4. Click OK to close the dialog box, then close all instances of Firefox and restart. If your Firefox still uses the same amount of memory, give it a few minutes and it should slowly clear up. If that fails, try a system reboot.

if that doesnt work, then google "firefox memory leak" there are several known problems and solutions, in any case i hope i helped.

Answer 3

I wouldn't blame Firefox - I think your computer has picked up a load of spyware while visiting the Internet with Firefox. My computer has both Firefox and Internet Explorer and I have seen that Firefox accesses the Internet at least twice as fast so it is great for speed.

Try downloading Microsoft's free SpyBot Search and Destroy. It can scan your computer to identify and remove spyware (parasitic programs that keep reporting your Internet activity to advertisers so they can send you annoying ads). Depending on where you visit on the Internet you could have dozens or hundreds of those spyware things running and slowing your computer. Use Spybot and get them off to see speed come back up.

Answer 4

You gotta problem. I use it cause it uses much less resources than IE. My firefox is great. Have you tried a spyware removal tool. Good luck.

Answer 5
