Oh for the love of cheddar, I am getting sick of this non-answer. Every problem with Firefox's shoddy memory management post FF3 get this standard "it's your fault not ours" drivel. Firefox is now a slow, memory-hogging chunk of garbage. It's not the profile, it's not the plug-ins, it's not the add-ons, it's not the extentions, it's firefox itself. Go to google, type in "firefox sluggish" or "firefox memory hog/leak" and you will get tens of thousands of posts about this. I personally have Firefox on three computers at home, two computers at work, and one computer at my brother's house, every one of them has this crappy, sluggish, memory hogging performance--ever since Firefox 3.anything, to be specific. Windows 2000, xp, vista, and 7, all the same issue. Sitting here and blaming the extensions over and over is not addressing the problem that Firefox is not garbage. It will take up more and more memory until every input has a 5-30 second delay, and don't sit here and tell me "that's how Windows uses the memory now. It's not: I use Opera, Chrome, Safari, and IE to test websites, and none of the other browsers have this issue. I love Firefox, I love the customizability, but the basic program is broken, and has been for some time. You people can harp on add-ons and blame the end user all you want, but as it stands, I have to use other browsers if I want to get anything done, and the second Google starts releasing some add-ons that do similar things, Firefox is history. It's pathetic that IE performs better now. So when someone (or, specifically, 43 people at the time of this post) brings up a problem with the newest revision of Firefox, don't immediately tell them its their settings when you know different. The only common strand we all have is that we are all using Firefox itself--the program is broken. Fix it.
