[14.04 64Bit]-Mozilla Thunderbird High Memory Usage?

[Matthew Cliffe]

Hay,

Ill have a little go at helping,

First do you have any extensions installed? These can use up silly amounts
of RAM.

Also if you go here
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Testing:Memory_Usage_Problems

They say less than 250MB is acceptable and OK for an average user, I assume
an average user in this case only uses one email account so ... im not sure
but I would "say" that 260 ish isn't overly large.

Cheers
Matt
