InformationWeek | Firefox 1.5 | Firefox 1.5 Stability Problems? Readers And Mozilla Respond | December 20, 2005


I've been noticing for some time that firefox 1.5 has some issues. VERY often, I'll notice my computer is slowing down, and when I check the task manage, firefox has sucked up some obnoxious amount of memory, like >250megs. This is on top of the frequent crashes...

This article describes some of the public response to these issues.

I also found this site:

That promises a easy fix for the memory leak issue - I'll try that out now....


EDIT: The above fix doesn't work. I'm trying a few other things I read about on
