This is getting ridiculous. With my last installation of Firefox, which was an upgrade from Firebird, it used to take up a lot of memory and frequently halt. At the time I attributed this to the fact that it was not a new installation, but an upgrade from a previous version.
However, now I've installed Firefox on my brand new computer and a day later it is already using 90MB of memory and counting. Even Internet Explorer uses less than this. I doubt all programs on my computer combined would use up so much memory.
Is this a known problem? Is there a fix? I've posted this also on the MozillaZine forums, but they get (literally) thousands of help requests every day and most go unnoticed. If I can't solve this problem I will have no choice but to go back to IE, as much as I don't want to.
