Ff is using over 2gig of ram on startup how do i fix this

OS is widows 7 64 bit with only 2gigs of ram
Firefox has work flawlessly for months but all of a sudden it overloads my ram when I start it, after a minute the ram gets flushed and everything works fine again. Last night I reset Firefox and everything was back to normal, but today its doing the ram hog thing again so resetting it is only a temporary fix.
FYI I don't have any add ons or plugins installed and the only software I've installed in the past month is VLC
Could this be a malware problem or something to do with VLC?

Try to rename (or delete) the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • HT4528 I have a verizon iphone 5c and I took out the SIM card just being curious and put it back in, now I can only use my phone on wifi and I can't use 4G or LTE strictly wifi. How can I fix this?

    Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? If that doesn't work, try resetting the network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
    If that fails, you may possibly have damaged the SIM. Verizon will need to give you a new one.
    Best of luck.

    Hello Khayalh,
    You should be able to link your phone number by following the steps in the article below. From your iPhone, sign out of FaceTime and iMessage and then sign back in and it should link. Check in the Start Conversation With and I Can Be Reached at section in iMessage and FaceTime respectively.

    If you use a trackpad and don't want to switch to a mouse, you can uninstall and reinstall all day long and will still have problems, but if you really want to try it, you can download PSE 12 here:

  • My Macbook pro won't open downloaded programs. it just opens the code it was written in using the text and edit app. How can I fix this?

    My Macbook pro won't open downloaded programs, it just opens the code it was written in using the text and edit app. How can I fix this? I just bought the computer last month so this is some what frustrating.

    If you are downloading .exe files, those are Windows programs, and will not run on your Mac unless you install Windows on it.  (That is possible, if you need one of those apps.)

    Before lollypop upgrade I could transfer files from LGg3 to computer using the LG supplied USB cord. How do I fix this bug?

    Is the G3 not recognized by the PC?  Or is it recognized and you don't see the ext SD card?  Are you able to use the Wireless Storage feature to transfer?  Do you have updated USB drivers from the LG support site?

    Thanks Jeff, I was not aware that a template could be multi-page.  (All the existing templates were 1 page)
    But it worked, saving me some steps.  When I was finished I renamed the document, and locked it.
    Then tried to save it but  could not because it was locked.  I closed it, went to my Spread Sheet Folder ,
    to find it, it was not there.  The Finder could not find it either.
    So I start over again.
    I opened up Numbers and it showed my personal Numbers template folder, it contained both my new 
    original 4 page template and the vanished saved document!
    I tried to delete the template containing these document data and could not - I had to go to the Library/Application Support/Numbers to physically remove it from this folder. Then I started over again.  I Finally found out how to make it work: I can now "save as", and then lock, and it will go to place where I want it to be saved and locked.
    The secret is: Click on the document title in the menu bar, and it opens up  "Save as...", which works the same as in OS 10.4.11, and you can pick the place you want for saving.  Once done that, you can then lock the document in the same pull down menu, and then close it.
    I also found later that I can delete a template from its folder, by letting Numbers open the templates,
    clicking on the one I want to remove, then go to the "Numbers Menu/File/Move to...", select "Desktop"
    and from there the selected template can then be thrown into the Trash from there.
    It appears now that the real fault of the Numbers software is that the "Save as" command is not available in the "Edit" or "File" pull-down menus, but hidden behind the title of the document.

  • I am unable to use my keyboard with out a delay, how do I fix this

    I am unable to use my keaboard with out a delay. How do I fix this?

    when just using safari to watch streaming television, my computer gets really slow, and locks up, and the dock appears blank
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Desktop is black and dock disappeared. I have to use spotlight search to open apps. How do i fix this?

    My desktop is black and the dock is not on my screen. I have to use the spotlight search to open apps. When i log in guest user everything works fine. It's only my account. How can i fix this?

    open spotlight and type the name of any folder. Select it. A finder window will open. Basically you just need a finder window. right click on the title of the window. You will get a dropdown menu. Select the name of your hard disk ( most probably "Macintosh HD") now you will see a folder named system alongside applications, users, library, etc. click on the system folder. Then click on the library folder which is the only folder that appears once you get inside system folder.
    now scroll down and find CoreServices folder. Open it and then find dock.app and open it.

  • When using Foxfire I keep getting "not responding", how can I fix this?

    When using foxfire I keep getting "not responding" How can I correct this?

    If this is happening with one or two specific sites, those site may have been hacked, or they may simply be bad sites.
    If it's happening with a larger number of sites, and with sites that are legit (like Google, Yahoo, Facebook, etc), then it's likely that your wireless router has been hacked. See:
