My firefox uses a very large amount of memory, 1.9 Gigabyte to be exact. I do have about 30 tabs opened, but i still don't think this is normal behavior.

I have around 30 tabs opened. Firefox is using 1.9 Gigabytes of memory according to windows task manager. This is slowing down browsing as well as my computer in general. Text entry is also slow within the browser. I am using windows 7 ultimate 64 bit OS. I have an AMD Phenom 9850 Quad core 2.5 Ghz with 8GB memory. Computer is very advanced and modern, should be lightning fast but slows way down when using firefox, no doubt from the 1.9Gb memory being used. Browsing is slow and sluggish as is switching between tabs and other general computing tasks.

Is it wrong or why Firefox uses it as an extremely large amount of memory? I'm running Firefox 7.0.1 on Windows 7 and it is more or less constant over 1.5 GB of memory utilization, twice as much as they early version 6. Best regards Jonas Walther

Hi musicfan,<br />Sorry you are having problems with Firefox. Maybe you should have asked earlier and we could have fixed it.
Reading your comments I do not see that rolling back to an insecure Firefox 22 will actually help you much. You are probably best using IE, unless you have also damaged that.
*[[Export bookmarks to Internet Explorer]]
You should not use old versions they are insecure. Security fixes are publicised and exploitable.
* [[Install an older version of Firefox]]

Most others will not be having such problems. We are now able to say that with confidence because after developers missed a regression in Firefox 4 telemetry was introduced so that data was obtained. It may be an idea to turn on your telemetry, if you have not already done so, and decide to stick with Firefox.

Trying safe mode takes seconds. Unfortunatly if you are not willing to do even rudimentary troubleshooting there is not anything we can do to help you.

I have been using the Firefox feature in which I could have multiple sets of tabs open but see only the set I was working with. I updated and now feature is gone. I had a small icon on the upper right side of my toolbar. I used it all the time to keep separate windows for news, financial items, travel plans, etc. Has this been removed from Firefox?

Hi,
The [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-groups-organize-tabs Tab Groups] feature is still present.

Hello, I am having issues open very large files I created, one being 1,241,776 KB. I have PS 12.1 with 64 bit version. I am not sure if they issues I am having is because of the PS version I have, and whether or not I have to upgrade?

I think more likely, it's a memory / scratch disk issue. 1.25 gigabytes is a very big image file!!

I usually have 3-4 tabs open which I am saving to read later. But I loose them all the time when firefox crashes or when another appliaction opens firefox to download something and it will discard all my tabs. This is incredibly annoying, is there a way to save my tabs ? or get them back when there is no "restore session" button ?

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".

Firefox keeps freezing up and giving me the colorful spinning wheel especially when I'm chatting with a friend of facebook or when i'm listening to music on myspace or even have just two tabs open and it's never done it before but now it just keeps giving me the colorful spinning wheel and i have to force quit and start over.

Hi If you get an error message saying your flash is blocked by firewall or needs updating or similar and you just get the spinning colour wheel try this link
It takes you to Adobe which tells you which ver of flash player you have - you can then see if there is a later ver by clicking on the library and it automatically selects the correct version for you to download.
Worked a treat for me! Good Luck

Ps Don't forget to use a browser other than firefox or you will be there for days.

After reverting to Firefox 3.6 I have lost the ability to close a webpage (down to an empty tab) when I have only one tab open. Where did the little "x" go on the single tab???

I like to be able to close the webpage I am viewing when I am finished, when there is only one tab open, so that Firefox is empty when I next want to browse the web. After upgrading to 5.0 and finding I hated it, I downgraded back to 3.6 and now the little "x" on the single tab is gone. It still appears when I have multiple tabs open, but not when there is just one. What happened? How do I get it back?

Thank you, but I already have "always show tabs bar" set.
Also, I have two computers and the other is running the exact same version of Firefox, and the exact same theme, but it does not have this problem.
To make sure I'm being clear: there is an "x" on each tab that allows me to close it when I have multiple tabs open. When I have only one tab open, there is no "x"; so in order to close the webpage I have to open another empty tab, and then close the first. My other computer has the "x" to close the tab visible even when there is only one tab so that I can close the page and have an empty (marked "(untitled)" tab). Please help!

I have just got an iMac 21" and it continuously freezes when it goes to sleep and also when the internet is trying to load, i have tried three different browsers but it still does it (safari, google chrome and firefox), does anyone know what is wrong?

I have just got an iMac 21" and it continuously freezes when it goes to sleep and also when the internet is trying to load, i have tried three different browsers but it still does it (safari, google chrome and firefox), does anyone know what is wrong?

To fix the freezing when sleeping problem go to System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'Computer Sleep' to 'Never'. It seems there is a problem for some with Bluetooth failing to wake after sleep. This fixes it 100% for me and many others on here, until Apple issue a software update to address it.
Not sure what to suggest on the internet problem. I assume you are connected and receive and send emails OK.
Edit: To try to troubleshoot the internet issue maybe try turning the Firewall off: System Preferences>Security & Privacy>Firewall tab.

If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.

Causes windows 7 desktop window manager (wdm.exe) to use large amounts of memory

Whenever I have Firefox4 open, it causes dwm.exe (Windows desktop manager) to use large amounts of RAM - It starts at about 100MB, quickly increasing to about 1GB over 20 seconds, then dropping back down to 100MB and so on. It does this continuously while Firefox4 is open, with the occasional "Your computer is running slow" message being shown by Windows.
Update: Only occurs when browser isn't on the primary display on a multi-monitor setup.

I had the exact same problem. DWM would use massive amount of memory when Firefox 4 was open on my secondary display, especially when scrolling with the mouse wheel. It would use so much that Windows 7 (8GB RAM) would turn off Aero. Going into Options>Advanced>General and unchecking "use hardware acceleration" fixed the issue. Of course now I can't take advantage of any hardware acceleration.

Receiving very large amounts of data via ibrd in Visual Basic

I am trying to read anything from a single byte up to 2Mb of data back into a Visual Basic program. Until now I have been using something like
Dim Response as string * 60000
ibrda hDevice, Response
which works fine up to the magic 65536ish string size limit, but I want more!
Ideally reading into a very large byte array would suffice, e.g.
Dim ByteBuffer(0 To 2000000 - 1) As Byte
ibrd hDevice, ByteBuffer
But I cannot find a way to get the gpib-32.dll to accept the ByteBuffer as a destination in Visual Basic, even though ibrd32 is declared in vbib-32.bas as accepting Any type as a destination, and a Long as a count, implying the the 65536 limit doesn't apply for that call.
It may be possibl
e to use repeated ibrd calls until one such call fails to fill the buffer, concatenating the results each time, but this seems a crude solution when the DLL would appear to be able to do the job in one go.
Using ibrdf may work, but would rather not use a file as intermediate storage.
TIA

I'm wondering if that # 65536 is a VB cap for string type. Refering to the lang intf,
Declare Function ibrd32 Lib "Gpib-32.dll" Alias "ibrd" (ByVal ud As Long, sstr As Any, ByVal cnt As Long) As Long
Sub ibrd(ByVal ud As Integer, buf As String) <---
Dim cnt As Long
cnt = CLng(Len(buf))
Call ibrd32(ud, ByVal buf, cnt)
isn't buf a string type?

My firefox uses a very large amount of memory, 1.9 Gigabyte to be exact. I do have about 30 tabs opened, but i still don't think this is normal behavior.
