Lolu chungechunge lwabekwa kunqolobane. Uyacelwa ubuze umbuzo omusha uma udinga usizo.

Firefox takes a huge amount of memory every time I run it. Right now it is using 350Mb. I had hoped this would have been fixed from 3 to 4. I hate that it sucks the memory out of my system.

Whenever I run the application it sucks up memory till I have to shut Firefox down. The memory leak was in version 3, so I hoped when 4 came out people would have fixed it. Unfortunately, they did not. Makes it frustrating to use.

350MB is not that much. buddy on my win7 notebook, it even higher. so my suggestion is, if you do not have dx9.0c completely supported video card, vista/win7, at least 2GB memory, do not touch firefox 4.0 windows edition.
