I’ve noticed lately that my FF resources jump to about 135k in memory when opening up 3 or 5 tabs…..is this normal?

@ Chniookman: I’m sorry I don’t know but your better bet would be to head over to the mozilla support forums.

@ both of you, why are you still using that garbage called Firefox? Seriously. It was trash from day one when it was called Phoenix.

2.0 is in alpha, which means it will be out very soon. It has all the good additions Firefox introduced - the new extension/theme/plugin manager being chief among them - without any of the bad decisions it’s “designers” made.

For those who have no idea SeaMonkey is the continuation of the Mozilla Suite, which Firefox was a subset of. Mozilla decided to kill the Suite in favor of Firefox (dumb move #235,476). Later a group of developers got sick of the way Firefox was being mismanaged so they took over the old Suite updating it and calling it SeaMonkey. 1.0 was a breath of fresh air, and 2.0 is even better.

If you need another reason, FF+TB takes about twice the memory compared to SeaMonkey, and if you throw Nvu in to the mix it’s even worse.

And unlike Firefox I’ve yet to see a see-through preferences window! Probably because Ben Goodger isn’t on the SeaMonkey team!

You like it so much you hide behind an anonymous moniker - hmm? Anyway, where did I say I was using Firefox?
