  How AVG reports that Firefox uses?

• When using Firefox I get popups frequent AVG Antivirus saying that Firefox uses an excessive amount of memory - is this a problem with Firefox or AVG or something else?

  Using Windows 7 with all updates. Computer has 6 GB of ram and has no problems with other sites

  If these messages back, see AVG support on how to increase the threshold trigger the trigger for this message. With 6 GB of RAM, there is no reason for Firefox using less than 10% of your RAM to be a problem and cause this message appears. IMO, the alarm should not trigger up to about 50%.

• Why firefox uses so much memory?

  For several months, Firefox has eaten memory like crazy. Once I get more than 5 tabs open or that you have Firefox running for more than an hour, the memory usage hit about a GB. If I continue to let go beyond that, it will hit 1.5 to 2 GB and it made my gel set office. I got to keep the Task Manager and every hour or so just kill Firefox and restart. Preventing it from crashing my whole desktop computer. It's definitely worse when I opened Google products, especially maps and Docs. GMail is generally OK.

  I tried to disable literally every add-on and Extension (including Flash and Adblock).

  I'm on Windows 7, I have 4 GB of RAM installed. I am on version 40.0 Firefox, but this has happened through a few updates now (I think the problem started around March or April). I also tried to back - rev Firefox and go to the latest version, that I had before the problems started, but that did nothing either.

  Chrome works fine on this machine without any similar problems - but I prefer Firefox!

• Firefox 4 causes my toolbar of the window to freeze! It also uses a huge amount of memory, 220 000. more than any other program.

  Since the update to Firefox 4 my Windows toolbar crashes after a few minutes. Firefox also uses a huge amount of memory. More than any other program and I have a lot of powerful programs. This time 222 000. More than any other program. Critical problem.

  I am glad that you are making progress. With all the Firefox test gets I was optimistic, such a problem could not escaped, and that the problem is more likely to be on your own computer.

  P. S.
  
  Note there is also a bug not fixed in Firefox, causing several plugincontainer.exe to launch even for disabled plugins turned off cookies (or history).

• Firefox uses massive amounts of memory (up to 2 GB and more)

  Firefox uses massive amounts of Ram, even when I have a tab open. It uses so much sometimes that my entire system freezes and crashes FF. I tried saving, deactivated all my plugins, but without success.

  Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

  See "basic troubleshooting: a new profile:

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/basic+troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile

  There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

  If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

• The new firefox uses a lot too much RAM compared to Chrome or Internet Explorer.

  Before an administrator reacts, please read, because I noticed that many times on this topic in other threads, the admins will respond as the caricature of the characters, not really listen to what people say.
  I have no extensions or add-ons - Firefox (latest version), Chrome (latest version) and Internet Explorer. When I have a blank page open, and 52 M of RAM uses only a single page, Chrome, IE uses 47 M, and Firefox uses 153 M. It's a freshly reinstalled copy, I have no preference at all, no, bookmarks nothing. Can someone explain why Firefox is forced to use three times more memory than its two competitors?

  The problem was that number of tabs was directly proportional to the RAM (1 page ~ 120M, 2 p ~ 240M, etc.). I have a fast computer, but was limited to three legs, and then everything became marshy. In fact, I discovered what it was. A Flash video extension downloader was inappropriate for the JAVA plug-in applications. I have no idea why this was happening, as the GUI for flash video downloader doesn't have Java, and the site that I was downloading is a medical site that uses flash as a protocol of Embedment for their video playback. Anyway, weird, but resolved. If all appears to be a random problem with the new version of FF, it can be flash-video downloader. A rather random shit page (homepage of Yahoo) is now only have access to 72 M of RAM, a reasonable person are all things considered.
  And forgive my aggression. I frequently don't forget that everything is life and death.

• Firefox uses too much RAM

  After the update to Firefox 23 I had a lot of problems. The major problem I had is that Firefox uses up to the amount of memory RAM (from 2 GB for less than 5 tabs assets/load) and ends up crashing. After a few tests, I found that when I closed the tabs that about 2 to 3% of what Firefox started using when I opened the tab is unloaded. Using the about command: memory, I discovered that xpcom uses the more this 1 GB RAM passes after awhile of navigation.

  a user here reported ghostery as a source for leaking memory - you can keep this option disabled for a while and watch the use of resources...

• Firefox process is left running in memory after the release

  The firefox * 32 process remains running in memory after the release of Firefox. You cannot restart firefox without killing the process (ctrl-alt-delete...) or by restarting the computer.

  I'm running Windows 7 pro 64-bit and the Swedish version of Firefox 6.0.2.

  I did have this kind of problem with previous versions of Firefox.

• When Firefox restarts the pages that they do not charge just display story, I then have to refresh to get new data as Explorer always charging and Firefox used to

  This should be an easy solution, because all the other browsers and Firefox used to do this. Firefox is restarted the pages do not charge they just historical display. I have to hit the button reload current page to get new data. This has been driving me crazy for a few weeks. I thought I had fixed a couple of times but only a few pages loaded and now it's the whole story again.

  Oh, you use the Session Manager. What happens if you check the box in the Session Manager options, to the title of the backup & restore, "Reload All restored Windows"?

• The latest version of Mozilla Firefox uses the Gecko or WebKit engine?

  And if your answer will be WebKit, tell me please what is the latest version of Mozilla Firefox, which uses the Gecko engine?

  The only case Mozilla can never use WebKit is on IOS.

  Is there a particular reason why you think that current Office Firefox uses webkit? It is not as if they can trade just get out the engine and do it without news of its spread all around tech sites.

• Firefox uses the page host internet explorer after restarting the PC, even if I change again, it passes every time

  I use a laptop for my work. I have internet explore what is necessary for our things work related and internet intranet explore uses the intranet homepage of our work. I also use firefox and want to use a different home page (IE Bing, google, whatever...). So things work related I use IE, for web browsing of non-working, I use firefox. Recently whenever I reboot my PC and launch firefox, firefox uses my Explorer (working on the intranet) home page internet. I then easily reset on my preference (bing.com) and as long as the PC is on, if I close and Open firefox it keeps bing.com as my home page. I could do this 20 x and it will keep the bing.com homepage. However when I shut down and restart the PC, firefox goes back to the use of the IE homepage (on the intranet of the work). Is there a permanent way to fix this. Our IT Department has been no help. Started a week before what is happening they upgraded our computers to internet explore 11. I tried to reset Firefox but that does not solve the problem.

  Hi hunted, something is change or replace your prefs.js file.

  Maybe you can thwart it by creating a user.js file. This file is read at startup of Firefox and replace prefs.js. Basically, it only needs a single line, if you could open prefs.js in a text editor after you have corrected to the homepage preference, use Save as to create user.js and then remove all the lines and save/close.
