Thats not the only memory leak though..

Yeah Firefox has a few memory leaks but it's not a bad browser.

Good to know this is normal though. I was afraid my computer caught something bad or whatever.

Its probably just my constant torrents that are making my net a little slower lately, obviously. So I really need to get this POS computer next to my laptop hooked up to the net so it can be my all purpose downloader computer!

Posts: 4067/5072		 Memory leakage has pretty much been the biggest problem with Firefox since its release. I've seen it get up to 200MB after a few hours ever since I started using it. Not a lot you can do except restart it every couple hours. It doesn't seem to go above 200MB so if you have a lot of RAM you may not even notice.

Posts: 549/1016		 Lately I've been seeing some huge numbers ... right now I'm looking at 130,000.

That seems a bit overdone, and yeah. Just wondering what's the normal for you guys who use Firefox?

I also switched to 2.0 recently, but I noticed this was happening while I used previous versions. I've only noticed this the last two weeks or so though.
