Why does my laptop give me a warning saying that firefox is using too much memory and to restart firefox to be more efficient? I just bought this laptop so I know it has the power to run what I need it to.

You appear to have AVG installed:
*See --> http://forums.avg.com/ww-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=173969#post_173969
From reading on the internet, it appears that when there is a spike in memory usage, AVG "interprets" that as a memory leak, possibly caused by malware. AVG could be incorrect concerning that assumption. Maybe they are being a bit too conservative about memory usage; just my opinion.
The decision is yours to turn off the "advisor" or leave it on.

Screen came up that Firefox is using too much space?????

Doing some web browsing and a screen came up saying that Firefox was using too much space. How can I fix this?

I have found the message useful as a reminder to restart Firefox soon, because of it I am a lot more likely to restart Firefox if leave the room so it will have been restarted automatically by the time I get back. It is measuring memory, but once my CPU time gets near 50 minutes it may soon be 1 hour then 2 hours, I think Firefox is running better now both because Firefox has identified some problems and because of the reminder from AVG.
I wouldn't advise disabling the warning, and I don't think anyone on the AVG forum thread would be doing it either but here is their own thread:
*Web Browsers High Memory Usage
*: http://forums.avg.com/us-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=180124
Firefox can be quickly restarted with an extension that shuts down Firefox, restarts Firefox, and returns user to where they were automatically. "Restartless Restart" for current Firefox users. Firefox users up to Firefox 3.6.* would have to use the older extension "QuickRestart"

Every time I load my igoogle home page opening firefox, it opens it in two tabs instead of one, and then AVG tells me firefox is using too much memory and I should close and reopen it; Why

I open firefox using my igoogle home page and immediately it opens two igoogle tabs on top instead of just one how do I stop it from opening the second one? and then after about two minutes AVG tells me firefox is using too much memory slowing my machine and tells me to close and reopen fire fox...how do I fix that?

Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that that there are no longer Firefox or plugin-container processes left on the Processes tab in the Task Manager. Otherwise session restore will reopen the page(s) from the previous session.

Avg tells me firefox is using too much memory,close and restart

avg pops up and tells me firefox is using too much memory.close firefox and restart it.page gets slow when this happens

Now using Firefox 7 I'll give it some time and let you know the results Thanks Jack

Having trouble exporting mpeg2 files from FCP 3 - please help me!

I haven't made a DVD for a little while, in the meantime have upgraded my operating system from 10.3 to 10.4 and am completely up to date with QT etc. I have Final Cut Pro 3, DVD Studio Pro 1.5 and Quicktime 7.3. The problem now is that when I try to export my edited video as mpeg2 from FCP, FCP immediately quits- I just can't figure it out... it leaves a file icon in the destination folder but apparently the error in the crash report means that I'm trying to write to a read only destination!?
look! ->

got any ideas?

Can you use DVDSP to do the encoding for you?
FCP3 was really not intended to be run from Tiger, in fact, I believe it will not install on a clean 10.4 disk.

Firefox is using too much memory what can I safely delete

I am not a techie so I need an answer or solution in simple words. My Firefox usage is 195MB and I continue to be alerted by Norton that it is too much. I am not sure which version I have downloaded, I think it is the latest edition how can I verify this? When I download a new version are all the other Firefox downloads removed? This elderly marginally computer savvy person is trying to fix it herself....due help!

verify version : go to HELP, then ABOUT FIREFOX and you see the latest version, 6 is the latest stable
yes when you download AND INSTALL a new version the previous one removed

Having problems with firefox 4 using creloaded (oscommerce cart) it is turning the price weight section etc into a table which can not be edited.

As above to be honest but the entire section of the top of the product add is uneditable and all information is set to zero. Which means I can no longer add products correctly to my website.

unfortunately there are tons of people with this issue but Apple has not given any answers for us to fix this issue yet. I wish they would allocate more people to solving these problems when they roll out new versions of itunes along with new hardware.

I'm having problems when Firefox 5 uses Flash Player.

Whenever the browser uses Flash player ''(ex. Facebook games)'', my browser becomes so slow, that even opening a new tab takes time to load.
One more thing, whenever I watch videos from youtube, although the buffer is finish, the video is choppy.
Any solutions with this?

No solution but some general comments
It may be worth disabling firebug, and any other unnecessary extensions, also consider any other background tasks, for instance is the computer indexing drives, or doing other downloads or security scans.
Experiment with hardware acceleration on and off, in both firefox prefs, and FlashPlayer settings. Ensure any video drivers are up-to-date.
Do you need the multiple java consoles, and is there any possibility skype may slow things down ?
It may be worth considering a new separate profile just for flashplayer gaming.

Any or all of the following third-party system modifications may be contributing to your problem:
Hamachi
Telestream audio driver
ControllerMate
If the panic is recurrent, I suggest you uninstall them, one at a time, according to the developers' instructions, to see whether you can identify which one is at fault. A conflict among two or more of the modifications may be involved. Reboot and test after each uninstallation.
Back up all data before making any changes.

PSE8 - having problems applying effects via Smart Brush Tool - PLEASE HELP

So this problem has started and it's driving me a little nuts. It doesn't happen on every image. And it seems to only happen when i use the smart brush tool to brush on effects. Sometime when I use the tools and start selecting my area the select freaks out and just goes all over when all i've done it clicked the cursor on a little area. Sometimes it doesn't. Weird.
BUT also, when I am able to select whatever and then i go to "refine edges" to smooth things out it flips out again. It adds random lines and boxes of color and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong! It's driving me crazy!
I've already "reset the tool", upped my RAM, and I've uninstalled/reinstalled the program. None of these has stopped the problem.
These images are examples of what the "refine edge" button does when it decides to have a mind of it's own. For both pictures I attempted to add the "cloud contrast" effect to the greenery and background.
(In the top picture there are lines and boxes of colors inthe dad's coat. As well as distinct lines where the effect ends when it should have blended.)

Next time you see that happen try Select>Deselect, choose the
paint brush tool and paint on the layer mask with either black or white
on the problem areas.
Do the artifacts go away when painting on the layer mask?

For the last few days my C4280 has been acting weird,I go to print something very basic and it starts to print then stops then starts again then stops keeps doing this until its done with what I am trying to print. I have unplugged it and have uninstalled and reinstalled has not helped at all. What is wrong with my printer?:

Also like I said when printing something say my work schedule things like that it starts to print then pauses then prints the pauses til its done printing a simple paper. Its like its waiting for something thats all I can think of to ask for help. Do I need to just go buy a new printer???

Having problems with HP6980 printer and Windows 7, please help

I just replaced my XP computer with a new HP computer running Windows 7. Each time I turn on my HP 6980 printer, it won't print. When I go to Devices and Printers, I see that it is offline. I have to delete the printer and reinstall it to make it work and this solution is only good for the session. I have to repeat the process each time that I turn on the computer. Please help.

Try running this next time you get the issue:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-91788-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&...

Sometimes I get a message on the task bar at the bottom of the screen saying Firefox is using too much memory and the browser slows down terribly. What do I need to do?

This has been happening for several months now.
I use AVG anti-virus and it runs both updates and scans regularly. I do find that if I do an extra full scan it improves the situation for perhaps half a day.
Sometimes the fault slows down the browser so much that it times out and I have to click the retry button.
It seems to happen with most sites that I visit, I have been unable to identify any particular one as being worse than the others

If you want to reduce memory(60%) '''when firefox minimize[only in windows os] '''there is an easy old good trick:
type in the address bar '''about:config'''

Running 9.0.1 Firefox. I get a msg from AVG that Firefox is using too much memory and then the computer (not just Firefox) shuts off. Running Win7 (64-bit) with 4 GB Mem and Intel i-5. Only 4-5 "normal" windows are open at the time this happens.

Right now Task manager Performance tab on Memory says: Total 3958; Cached mem 1588; Avail 2239; Free 722; Physical Mem 43% and this window is the only thing open. Kernel mem (MB) says Paged 179 and Nonpaged 80.
I can get you more info if you tell me what you need (and where to find it - I am 60 y.o. woman and this is not my forte :=)
Thanks,
sandy

If you want to reduce memory(60%) '''when firefox minimize[only in windows os] '''there is an easy old good trick:
type in the address bar '''about:config'''
then press the button '''i'll be careful i promise'''
then '''right-click''' anywhere in the list of preferences and choose '''new''' > '''boolean'''
then type in the open window '''config.trim_on_minimize'''
then click''' OK''', and in the next window select '''TRUE''' and click '''OK'''.
exit firefox and restart-it.

I am having problems exporting Firefox bookmarks to Google Chrome. Please help. (Firefox is using too much of the memory.)
