Right now, I have 2 FF windows open -- one with 6 tabs (updating my WordPress blog & other text-based web pages) & another with 24 tabs. Soooo, guess how much RAM I'm using??? 391 MB for FF and 76 MB for the Plug-in Container. WTF??!?!?!?!?!
I gotta find an alternative. Like, a web page just has text, images, etc. Right? So where's this 391MB coming from???
I rekon if I saved each tab, that'd be about say 400K per page (and I'm being overly generous in my estimation). So why this greed for RAM, Firefox??? Please explain!!
At least I got 2 GB RAM but my pal has a desktop with about 256MB RAM and Firefox was eating 70 MB...and she only had 1 or 2 tabs OPEN. Like, WTF????
Cheers!
