Usually have some tabs such as facebook, yahoo, and a couple of others open within one window. I always find that the memory bloats and bloats to almost a gig sometimes.

Even upon initial opening of Firefox, the Activity Monitor shows 26 or more threads.

Is this normal?

Hi catmandont,

Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article Firefox uses too much memory or CPU resources - How to fix or Firefox uses too much memory or CPU resources - How to fix? There is a lot of great information in there.

Hopefully this helps!
