My firefox uses a very large amount of memory, 1.9 Gigabyte to be exact. I do have about 30 tabs opened, but i still don't think this is normal behavior.
I have around 30 tabs opened. Firefox is using 1.9 Gigabytes of memory according to windows task manager. This is slowing down browsing as well as my computer in general. Text entry is also slow within the browser. I am using windows 7 ultimate 64 bit OS. I have an AMD Phenom 9850 Quad core 2.5 Ghz with 8GB memory. Computer is very advanced and modern, should be lightning fast but slows way down when using firefox, no doubt from the 1.9Gb memory being used. Browsing is slow and sluggish as is switching between tabs and other general computing tasks.
