Comments on: Why I love Firefox; and what does it do with all the CPU and RAM http://sudhanshuraheja.com/2007/03/why-i-love-firefox-and-why-does-it-do/ By Sudhanshu Raheja Mon, 16 Apr 2012 06:55:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Virtual Poona Blogger http://sudhanshuraheja.com/2007/03/why-i-love-firefox-and-why-does-it-do/comment-page-1/#comment-457 Virtual Poona Blogger Wed, 28 Mar 2007 21:45:00 +0000 http://sudhanshuraheja.com/wordpress/?p=569#comment-457 This is an interesting question....I'm using XP Pro in my bedroom and connecting through a FON WiFi router which is connected to my Linksys router which is connected to a PC in the living room. Using Firefox since 2001 (dial-up at that time)and loving it more now. Occasionally I get a 'Virtual Memory is low'msg but the auto solution from Windows increases my cache size so I just continue. This usually is a problem only if I'm downloading Torrents while simultaneously listening to streaming audio. As far as tabs go I try to minimize use of them and instead use the Back button. Since I have a Blog I use the old Mozilla suit simultaneously (Compose feature is great)while running Firefox 2.03 and everything is smooth. I compose on Mozilla, copy and paste to Blogger window and in less than 5 seconds my post is visible. And now with the Performancing extension from Firefox, I can't complain!<br/>Anyway, I'm not much of a techie so RAM<br/>usage doesn't mean too much to me, just enough to invest in a 2GB USB drive. Nice job on the Indian blog research !

But if any time, you close firefox and restore session, it takes up 50-70% less RAM. hey dhruva, that’s for that.

(too lazy to google and find n fix myself)<br/><br/>also, my rough calculation tells me that amount of memory used is directly proportional to number of tabs you have open at the moment and the formula is no. of tabs X 10,000.
