[xubuntu-users] Firefox using loads of memory.

[Marc Coevoet]

Hello,

I do not know if other people are seeing this, but I have maybe 10+ tabs 
active ...

The computer is slow, and freezes ..


I already have a script to kill firefox, for other reasons..

Here is top, I have 8Gb of memory in my computer

It must be a firefox issue, or could a (faulty designed) page consume so 
much?
