Hello,

In the last couple of days Mozilla started to use all my computer's memory. It is impossible to do something while Firefox is working, it's so slow and I don't know what do to exactly. (I tried changing performance option and the browser is also updated.)

I would run this crucial memory scan to see what your max ram is and buy more memory on ebay.

Did you read the more info link from another user question about ram? Can you reboot, login, and then open Task Manager. How much memory do you have left?

Sir I only have this problem on Mozilla Firefox, apart from that no one of the programs use my ram to 100. So rather than getting more memory is there any different way to handle the problems on Browser itself. I did and I found this one should I try in my case?
