Firon Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Who needs a browser when you can use telnet and parse the HTML in your brain? It's just as good and uses less resources! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignorantcow Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 I've been using 1.5 since B1- Firefox is getting crap. I'm still having memory leaks even after performing a few rounds of clean reinstalling- I'm using standalone IE7b1 as my default browser now. If the Moz people don't clean up their act soon' date=' FX won't even stand a CHANCE once IE7 ships.[/quote']Hmm. Do you delete your profiles between reinstalls? (The uninstall doesn't remove profiles, so bugs stemming from settings/themes/extensions can carry over)FYI: Firefox's profile manager is launched by doing Start -> Run -> firefox.exe -pHey, I'm no noob I ran Firefox in "Safe Mode" between upgrades, which basically disables everything from your profile- problem's still there.

Sisq0 Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 I like firefox 'cause its extensions and stuff BUT (there's a big fat but...) ... i use Maxthon. Why u'll ask? That's why:Maxthon 1.5.0 + 15 tabs opened = 5mb memory usageFirefox 1.5 + 2!!!!! tabs opened = 36mb memory usageDamn, i'm not stupid and i know how to count... i'll use Maxthon 'till firefox guys do something 'bout this memory usage...

1c3d0g Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 IE is pre-loaded with Winbloze...of course you wouldn't see much more memory usage, since most of it is already in use. :| Having said that, I do agree that Firefox' memory consumption should be brought down at least 25%~30%... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAbReAkA Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Yeah, I've noticed the memory leak is finally gone in 1.5 final. i've never had a memory leak before v1.5 now when i open 10 tabs or 15 it goes up to 100+ mb and sometimes 100% cpu usage...in comparison 1.0.7 never reached more than 70 mb (i think) with 30 or more tabs.. the memory usage is not so big deal but 100% cpu usage is a pain in the a**if i dont count this i would say that it is perfect.. but remember there's nothing perfect in the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hofshi Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 After reading one of the first posts in this thread (a post by splintax), I d/l and tried Opera, and I must say that he is right. Opera performs slightly better than Firefox. It's faster, consumes less memory, and handles problematic sites a little better. I am still going to continue usingFirefox, however, since Opera is not open source, and I like the numerous extensions in Firefox.I still hope that the guys who work on Firefox will resolve the memory leak problem in v1.5 .
