I wonder if there are large differences based on usage patterns.
I just finished entering a comment above suggesting people should give it another try; I have 100 or so tabs open and 500MB footprint after using it all day, with version 13 (I just stick with the release update channel) in win7.
In my experience they've very clearly fixed whatever the main memory issue was that affected my experience -- but not yours. Though -- the windows versions may get a bit more testing....
- dredmorbius 14y agoHow are you measuring usage? On what platform? I'm running Firefox 15 / Iceweasel 10 on Ubuntu and Debian respectively, watching VIRT (total virtual memory size). Currently sitting at 2.3 GB, FML.
- luser001 14y agoHmm, I'm no expert. But AFAIK open memory mapped files are counted towards a process's virtual memory (as displayed by utils like 'top' and 'ps). Dunno if FF uses memory mapped files extensively. There's a utility called 'pmap' that you can use to display the memory mapped files and subtract it from the total etc. Finding out how much memory a program is using is surprisingly tricky to compute. Good luck.
