When I look at Yahoo Finance for over an hour the browser will freeze after it hits 1GB of memory usage is there any way to prevent the logging of information on that page or something.

The trade quotes change rapidly so feel that might be the main problem, I would like to keep using Firefox but seem impossible at present.

Firefox should never reach 1GB of memory usage.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache. Note: This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to. To clear cache and cookies do the following:

  1. Click the menu button New Fx Menu, choose History, and then "Clear Recent History...".
  2. Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
  3. Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
  4. From the details list, check Cache and Cookies and uncheck everything else.
  5. Now click the "Clear Now" button.

Further information can be found in the Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox article.
