My firefox 3 is taking a lot of memory. around 80000 K. My buddy says thats too much. any fixes?

Question

I took off some addons i don't use, but the count remained the same.

Answer 1

Mine takes up about that much space too.  I think its just firefox is a resource hog, but it pays off by being such an amazing browser.

Answer 2

Something is wrong with Firefox 3. now.

If you go to their sight, you will see a lot of complaints like yours, and slow loading, and jerky picture loading.

I figure Firefox will fis it fast, but it is really annoying.

Answer 3

That is a memory leak problem that is known. If you update your FireFox to the most recent version (3.0.1) then that should resolve the problem.
