|  Firefox Memory Leakage? I've never experienced the Firefox "memory leakage" others sometimes complain about, but lately it has been pushing my CPU usage up to 100%, sometimes rendering the browser unresponsive. Wondering if others are having the same problem and if there's a work-around for it.

| Re: Firefox Memory Leakage? >.> Sounds like a corrupt extension or user profile, I'd back up my bookmarks (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Files > export), navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR ACCOUNT\Application Data\ and delete Mozilla. Launch Firefox and import your bookmarks. That should fix the problem. If not uninstall FF altogether and try reinstalling it.

| Re: Firefox Memory Leakage? Thanks, Panda Man. Guess I'll just uninstall and reinstall since I have Foxmarks on both my computers. I recently read somewhere (Maximum PC?) that a memory problem started with the last FF update, and they suggested making a change in FF's registry, but I can't find the article.

 | Re: Firefox Memory Leakage? I had that issue with a previous version (.0.10). I had to export/save my bookmarks to an html file on the desktop, remove firefox, once thats removed go intot he Program Files and remove any leftover folders, then run CCleaner's registry cleaner to clean up... then I reinstalled FF and never a problem since.  Thanks HL and Corsair! My opinions are my own and not representative of this site or its members.  | ||||||||||||||
