When is Firefox going to stop hogging my system??

Firefox constantly drains my RAM and CPU memory. I have 2GB of RAM and it dares to use over 1GB of that. I have a AMD 5200 processor and it dares to use over 50% of that.
It's doing this constantly and I'm not the only one who has this problem. When is thgis going to be fixed I'm sick and tired of Firefox slowing down my entire PC. You're not faster browsing you're a system hog. I can show you numerous screenshots of my task manager showing foirefox does this.

Oh and it's not on my "Cloud".

  • The ability to Scroll when using Firefox has suddenly stopped but works ok in IE, microsoft apps etc. Help please?

    The mouse driver is Synaptics but this works with all other apps and Internet Explorer, but suddenly stopped when using Firefox and all tabs. Not sure why so can you help?

    If it is a laptop, I've heard of vertical and horizontal scrolling being switched on the touch-pad in Firefox. Bring up "Mouse" in the Control panel and see if you can fix there, best if just going there fixes, but that's really pushing luck. If you activate horizontal and deactivate vertical wonder what happens in other applications.
    My driver only allows vertical scrolling control along the right edge and does not provide horizontal scrolling at the bottom edge I turn the mousepad off though and use a mouse.

  • I run firefox 11 with xp I have avg2012 I will not shut down my avg so when is firefox going to fix this, there is now v 14available but still no answer

    if firefox will not let me run avg2012 then I will have to change to a browser that will I have anther computer running on windows 7 and avg2012 but will not use it yet on the net permanently
    This problem has been known since version 6 and even 4 it its now v14 please fix this well known problem.

    Hi I upgraded to 14.1, Avg safe search was disabled. Skype click to call as well but I do not use that function any way, a Video to mp program,again I do not use it..
    When I installed it I rebooted my computer, then ran a AVG update,
    however to Firefox I do not like running with out the SAFE search, I do have other save guards, but unless Firefox is made to run with the AVG safe search I would advise any one that has important documents on that computer to go to another browser.
    that is what I am going to do once I have all my toolbar contacts saved.
    I have been using Firefox for many years, it seems that is to come to an end.
    My other computer with windows 7 is not connected to the internet, only to connect to steam or other branded secure sites for registered programs.
    AVG SAFE SEARCH has protected me until now, so I am very worried.

  • Now when starting - firefox goes to info screen instead of directly to email sign-in

    since latest "upgrade" - just want to skip new info screen

    Change your home page settings

    **Home Page > www.google.com"

  • OT: When your Firefox goes to version 29...

    If you use a lot of development addons in Firefox (like I do) and your FF goes and updates to version 29 (like mine did), you'll notice the Addon Bar at the bottom disappears and all of your little dev addon icons move up into the normal menu, making a big old mess out of it.
    Here's the addon to fix that and bring the Addon Bar back to the bottom of your screen...

    They really Chromed the heck out of it, but the addon above un-Chromes your Firefox.

    Oh, lovely.  Thanks for the info.

  • When is Firefox going to have it's own translator built in?

    I heard that Firefox will have its own translation feature built in sometime soon also will it use Bing or Google for translations?

    Currently, there does not appear to be any plans for a translation feature. However, Bing does offer a bookmarklet that will translate webpages when you click on it. You can get their bookmarklet [http://labs.microsofttranslator.com/bookmarklet/ here.]
    There does not appear to be a bookmarklet for Google at the moment, but there is an add-on available that uses Google translate. There are also many other translation add-ons available, although they may slow your Firefox down a bit. Just search for translations on their add-ons page.

  • How do I stop Firefox going back to the site I just left, even when I cose window.

    I use Firefox almost exclusively. Lately when I am done and I close the window or the site, Firefox goes back to the same site and I cannot
    close it and get on with my next planned visit. I do not know what specificaly to adjust to stop this .
    I will appreciate any help you can offer me
    Thank you,
    Lori Phillips

    You can check the startup setting:<br />
    Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my home page" "Show a blank page"
    Also make sure that you close Firefox properly. Otherwise Firefox may try to restore the previous session.

  • Firefox is very slow to respond when opening and nearly always stops responding altogether even refusing to react to Task Manager "End Program@ command. The "not responding@ error message also comes up during navigation on line.

    Firefox is very slow to respond when opening and nearly always stops responding altogether, even refusing to react to the Task Manager "End Program" command. The "not responding" error message also comes up during navigation on line. Several attempt have to be made to get on line. A loss of stability seems to be endemic at the moment.

    The screen goes blank when signing out of Yahoo Mail. There is no error message. This does not happen with Internet Explorer. Not much else to say.

    Hello James.
    You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

    Recharging my iPod shuffle (3rd gen.) on my 2009 iMac (OS 10.5.8) goes extremely slowly (via usb port at the back). This is mainly because recharging stops when my mac goes to sleep. I just can't believe that Apple doesn't have a sollution for this, but I haven't found it yet... What's the most efficient way of recharging?

    Purchase a wall charger for it instead.

  • TS3700 music stops playing when the screen goes dark, but the earbud jack is flush with the iPod. The Jack is hard to push in now. what is the problem?

    Music stops playing when the screen goes dark; the earbud jack is flush with the iPod. The Jack is hard to push in. what is the problem? How do I Fix it?

    And you are positive the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?
    Have you tried another set of headphones to see if the problem persisted? If so, it's likely that the headphone jack needs replacing.
