Why don't you get some c/c++ grizzled veterans on your team and fix the memory leaks that have dogged FireFox ever since the beginning?

It's not plugins or extensions. This is a problem that never goes away. Memory usage creeps up into the multiple GBs (I have 12 GB of ram, the more you give the more it takes), and eventually the little OOPS Firefox crashed dialog is the only thing running. What about reviving the Electrolysis project for multi-process operation? In modern versions of IE and Chrome, this capability is so useful to kill off offending tabs.

Electrolysis is alive and well, and is currently hot on track for a future release. Please note that Electrolysis (or per-tab process) doesn't improve memory usage (In fact Chrome has significantly worse memory usage than Firefox because of it). One thing we are trying to do right is make sure we don't worsen memory usage because of Electrolysis.
Memory usage is something that's difficult to work on with little information, so if you want help please provide us some more data such as your about:support (type it in your url bar and press enter) and your about:memory (same)

  • Why don't you get the full amount of memory in iPad?

    I was wondering why a 64 gb wifi iPad 2, only have 59 gb free space. How and where does the 5 gb being used?

    First, it's storage space not memory.
    Computers see a gigabyte of data as 1024 Bytes.
    Marketing departments call 1000 Bytes as a gigabyte.
    All storage makers use 1000 Bytes as a gigabyte.
    Also, the firmware takes up space that cannot be used.
    This is also reflected in the available space.
    Hence my 64gb iPad shows 59.1 gigabytes total available.

  • Why don't you have a phone #. I want to install Firefox on my ipad2 and can't get an answer. Apple says Firefox is coming for ipad2...when?

    I want to install Firefox on my ipad2 and can't get help. Apple says Firefox is coming for ipad2...when??? Why don't you have a phone# for support? Safari does not allow me to do what I need to on some websites. Help!!

    Apple's rules for their app store do not allow programs such as Firefox to be run on their iOS devices. We do have a tool to allow access to your Firefox Sync bookmarks and history on your iOS device.

  • Why don't you run a eduction program to train some members of the staff to be leaders in korea?

    I'm disappointed you.
    Mac Addresses of Erhernet and Wi-Fi on My iMac was exposed to network because of using terminal supported by apple iMac.
    I just wanted that Using changed random mac address protect me from stealth connection and attack by someone, not spoofing other one.
    After using terminal, my iMac is not under my control.
    Network key to prevent further changes on system preferences pannel was opened very often. Network configuration was finally changed.
    You would rather educate how to change mac address of Erhernet and Wi-Fi to me than hack my iMac.
    I want to control my Mac by myself, because it's mine not yours.
    You don't have any rights to control my iMac even thought your purpose is positive.
    Why don't you run a eduction program to train some members of the staff to be leaders in korea?
    Micosoft has run a various education programs to make new user and to upgrade user's system  in korea.
    I'm much interested in the distribution of your products, iphone, ipad & iMac as your agent in Ulsan, Korea .
    I have a plan to apply your products to HYUNDAI expect project.
    Who should i contact to talk about distribution in Ulsan, Korea in detail?
    Please let me know Charger Name, email address and phone number.

    MAC addresses for network hardware are encoded into the network interfaces. To change them requires spoofing of the address, something not officially supported by Apple (or any manufacturer I know of) and hence would be beyond the sort of support any Apple Store employee could or would provide, or is it something that Apple would providing training to the dealers in how to accomplish.
    As to distribution of Apple products, Apple has information on their channel programs on this web page:
    http://channelprograms.apple.com/channel/index.html
    Unfortunately, they say at this time they're not accepting any applications for resellers:
    http://channelprograms.apple.com/channel/channel_update.html
    You can keep checking that page from time to time and see if they once again open up application for resale. When or if that will happen, none of us here can say.

  • Why don't you remove the Gd limit for sharing an idea?

    I have copied/pasted my original text and suspect will be forced to make it public in mozillaZine or... this limit is extremely annoying! First of all... some search engine? searchqu.com took over Firefox 4.0 and I.E.... after reading in mozillaZine that uninstalling/re-installing FF didn't work, I tried various ideas that were reported to work... none did for me! So I downloaded and installed Google Chrome. Its search engine had been compromised by searchqu.com as well but I was able to set it back to Google.com! Then I discovered that Google Chrome downloaded files 6 times faster than did FF 4.0, FF 3.6 or I.E. 8. So I am going to stick with GC. However, if someone can tell me how to get FF downloading at 15 Mbps like GC... I will be back... it is difficult to leave FF after Netscape>Firebird>Firefox! The upload rate is indeed cut in half... but that will just keep FF installed and used on occasion. I am truly hoping to get a solution to my speed problem... it is indeed a problem only on my computer and my netbook... the speed thing is fine on my wife's computer! ??? This is the only way I could find of informing someone about this weird problem without making it public! But as all can see, I had to go public! :o) By the way... uninstalling Firefox including all data then installing it worked for me! That damn searchqu.com is gone... at least has been for a few hours now!

    To convey your views to Apple, you need to use

    Apple seems to have been gradually replacing flags with alphabetic symbols wherever possible.  Chinese and Japanese have been this way for quite a long time, and in Yosemite I count 30 keyboards (including Greek), nearly half the total, without the flag. 
    The easiest way to get the Greek flag back would be to download the app Ukelele, which includes copies of the Greek keyboard and the old flag icon, which you can install and use instead of Apple's.

    I can also send the keyboard and flag to you if you want if you provide an email.

    Why don't i get answers of security question to my email address ??

    We wouldn't know that. They could be in your Junk email box, or the Rescue email address that you have on your account may not be what you think it is. Just FYI - the Rescue email (where that email would be sent to) is not the same as your Primary Apple ID email.
    If you are not seeing the email at your Rescue email address, contact Apple Support to get them reset:

  • WHY DON'T YOU AT LEAST IMPROVE THOSE BRUSH STROKES?!

    I'm a professional digital artist-illustrator for about 7 years now. using photoshop since early years of my career. CS2, CS4, CS5.. on more than several mashines, top line HP workstations and EliteBook.
    and one thing that bothers me and most of my colleagues is the quality of the brush strokes that PS provides.
    why don't you improve em for christsake?!?
    I must admit, this is a software issue, not mashine. neither the resolution, some options or tablet series has anything to do with this.. and it's especially visible on thicker strokes.
    we work on intuos3, intuos4, intuos5, apple, win and whatnot. ant it's most obvious that the brush lines are as ugly as hell in this program entirely through all series.
    when it comes to non-vector lineart, thats' basically why most of the artists/designers go for other progams, such as paint tool sai, sketchbook pro, manga studio and etc, and do the effects/coloring only in PS.
    here's an ex. how the brush lines end. + if you work slower/move your pen more precise they go even worse!
    I won't go further, like talking about the LAG with mixer brtushes and etc. most of the CG forums and communities are allready full of those discussions. you cannot even compete on this issue with other products.
    that might be also a solution to rise your sales around the globe. cos now - why to buy a <1200$ worth PS program in europe when you'll probably end up mainly using paint tool sai or sketchbook pro for around 90$ and go for GIMP (free software) for effects.

    I can understand a certain level of frustration, PAUZAK, but really?  Are you a part of the same universe I'm in?
    Your answer seems defensive; I'm just trying to help.
    Points answered:
    >then why other products managed to make it work?
    I was only commenting on the points made in the thread YOU linked to.  Apparently at least some people see the shoelace thing in the Wacom control panel.  Given that evidence, which I doubt was manufactured, your pretense seems to need questioning.  I suppose it's possible (actually, a certainty) that some products send different commands to the drivers than others, and that the drivers are doing things wrong only under some conditions.  That's why I asked whether the Smoothing setting affected your setup.
    >just like this forum.. can't make a reply like in other normal forums, or edit anything
    I'm having no problems replying, or editing using any of the major browsers, including Firefox.  I can't edit posts on an iPhone or iPad (not allowed to even try), but if you're using an actual computer and you can't even make the forum work, you have problems on your system.
    >adobe is. cannot make the most simple things to work right and not LAG
    Some operations in Photoshop are complex and when done with big brushes and all kinds of stuff (fuzzy edges, mixing, etc.) turned on they slow down, but with reasonable sized brushes I've been able to paint stuff, and I certainly don't have the world's fastest computer by today's standards.  And even so, I'm not sure that's a situation where it's not working right per se...  Maybe just one where a better computer is needed to paint with really big brushes and all the fancy stuff turned on.  That *could* be a better computer than any invented yet, but that's okay - see next year's lineup...
    >looks like the staff is obviously looking somewhere else
    Wow, and you posted that *right* after one of the senior Photoshop scientist/engineers at Adobe responded specifically to you.  When's the last time an engineer from any other big software company responded to you?
    >Photoshop is still a huge and expencive disappointment so far. ask any pro
    Yeah, all the pros just avoid Photoshop.  That's why Adobe is doing so poorly as a business.  They can hardly sell any copies at all! 
    PAUZAK, I'll go out on a limb and say making things up and trolling for shock value and blaming the world for your own problems probably aren't going to help you reach a solution.

  • Why don't you have a search engine?

    Well, from the user name, it looks like I've had problems with you in the past. I am guessing you didn't answer me. No matter, I have more questions.
    1. why don't you have a search engine? I am getting rid of Google, duckduckgo is still amateurish, and Bing is a Nazi.
    2. why don't you have the guts to include a contact email on your site?
    3. why does a new tab open up as a blank and why can't it be personalized?

    2. There is no contact email for Firefox, just as there is no contact email for most free and open source software projects. We would be flooded with hundereds of emails a minute and don't have the resources to handle that. That is why we have this support site to help those users who need support. This way the community can help with support as well :)
    3. Try an add-on such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/customize-aboutnewtab https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/customize-aboutnewtab]

    Why don,t you communicate in Dutch?

    US laws prohibits export of just about any product to Iran, so Apple is legally barred from selling their products there and will be until such time as there are major changes in US policy, not likely to happen in the foreseeable future. If you wish to read up on US sanctions, see:

    Why don't I get a ring tone or sound when I receive a call on face time?

    On a Mac computer the Facetime ringtone is VERY weak, even with the volume turned up. If you have your audio level adjusted to a normal level you may not hear it. A number of people have complained about it on this Facetime for Mac forum. On my iPad the alert tones when receiving a FT call is much more robust.

  • HT1420 why don't you let me authorise 5 computers

    why don't you let me authorise 5 computers

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.  You should be able to authorise 5 computers, but not more than that - old computers that you haven't deauthorised will count in the 5, and a computer could count for more than one authorisation if you haven't deauthorised it prior to updating or reinstalling the OS on it.
    Do you currently have 5 computers authorised ? If you do and you no longer have some of them then you can 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you should then be able to reauthorise up to 5 computers that you still have and need.
