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...

    Say hello to new parthcool.

    It is a normal behavior of a browser like Chrome or Firefox.  You run several tabs in Chrome?  Chrome treats each tab as a separate instance of the browser and for this purpose a separate process.  It is a good feature because it means that a hanging web page will not (usually) bring down the browser everything.  However, this means that Chrome uses a lot of RAM.

    Using intensive plugins memory within these tabs, like Adobe Flash, will greatly increase the amount of memory used.

    Here is a screencap of my own memory used within Chrome.  I did open Chrome before that and I currently have seven tabs.  This represents about 400 MB with pages containing the text for most.

    Unfortunately, because this is a consequence of the features of the browser itself, there are only a few options to solve the problem.  You can try to minimize the amount of memory that Chrome uses by following the instructions in this article.

    Your second option is to upgrade your laptop to include more memory.  You also extend the usefulness of your laptop.  If you want to go this route, I need your product number to locate the appropriate parts and information.  Follow this document to locate the product number.

    Finally, and this is probably the most effective solution, is to use the Ready Boost of the window function.  Ready Boost allows you to use Flash memory, such as a USB key, as secondary memory for your computer.  Here's a great thread in which explains how to use Ready Boost.

    I hope you find this useful parthcool; have a great day!

  • Firefox consumes too much RAM, caused by js

    I have problems with Firefox consumes too much memory RAM. Many people are complaining about this, but I have done some additional research before posting here, using the about command: memory and I discovered that js-no-window and js-main-runtime are the cause.

    When I start an empty Firefox session I immediately an allowance of 260 MB of RAM. About 75-80% this is taken up by these two processes of js (javascript?).

    After opening about 10 tabs with different Web pages, the use of the RAM went up to about 750 MB. During the time that the tabs are open most of the extra of the MB are consumed by the window objects (40 MB per page, yet much seems to just a news with an article site...) but after their closing will not use of memory to the bottom and he transferred to the two already mentioned js process. This transfer to the js process is not always the case, it seems to happen if I open a lot of tabs, let's say 10 + maybe.

    I tried to disable Javascript using the SettingSanity plugin, but makes navigation difficult at home of course and the worst of all this does not solve the problem. Specified processes continue to use the same amount of RAM.

    I have this same problem on all my computers and laptops, so it can't be a coincidence. Is there anything I can do about it? It is being investigated? How a browser with 10 open web pages may need almost 800 MB of RAM?

    And please don't reply not to "install more RAM". The pc with the fact that I have more problems has 2 GB of physical RAM and I really don't think it is possible on a computer of this logon type 10 web pages. Do the same thing in Internet Explorer consumes less than half the amount of memory RAM.

    PS: I sent this request using IE because I could ' t access this page in Firefox. The button 'Ask the question' did not work...

    I have 2 GB Ram too and can open up to 20-30 tabs before slowing down. Maybe it could be an addon like Adblock more which can cause the memory leak.

  • I can't watch Flash videos because Firefox uses too much CPU.

    Firefox has become untenable because it uses too much CPU and disrupts the Flash videos.

    I tried to disable or change the values of the plugins. Install older versions. Nothing helps. It just sucks. Makes me want to get out the lungs of someone.

    Thank you

    Normal.

    Many applications call the system and ask:

    -"Hey, mate, let me come in.

    If the system has enough memory, it responds:

    -"OK, but don't take too much place.

    If the system is out of memory, he responds:

  • First Pro CC2015 using too much RAM?

    Use CC2015 for a few days now and notice that it uses more RAM than it should, according to the settings in preferences. After a few minutes of reading material SD, it is used by almost all the RAM in my system making it practically unable to operate. Ranging from Blackmagic 480i/p notice to Blackmagic 1080 p AVI, XDCAM EX files and AVID DNxHD/Meridian QuickTimes. If anyone notices anything similar?

  • Firefox using too much processor power and memory after that I have closed it

    I always clicked on 'X', the red top right of firefox to close. Lately when I do it, my CPU/RAM usage goes up dramatically and ff never really closed, slowing down my whole computer. It's really annoying, and the only way I know to stop it is to complete the process on ff with windows Task Manager. Any suggestions as to what could be the problem?

    If we consider the problem is resolved you can mark it as you please.

    However note that Norton Internet Security, by default, is likely to run 'pulse updates' not really a topic to discuss here, except to say that this activity may well continue, depending on your settings with Norton, regardless of whether or not you have the toolbar installed Norton.

    I currently have a paid for version of Norton installed.

    My understanding is that Norton bar refers to the password management etc for safe research and general connection with the site of Norton.

    • The Norton Toolbar is not compatible with the current beta of firefox 4
    • I don't know if there are other harmful effects on firefox
    • In itself remove the toolbar will not stop Norton software affecting the use of firefox (but this is of course to ensure the safety, I do not pretend you remove, only that you take into account its CPU cost wise)
  • Firefox takes too much RAM

    I have 2 GB DDRAM 2 and firefox takes just 900 MB in only 3 tabs

    see if your plugin BrowserPlus generate high RAM.

  • Report on events uses too much RAM

    I run a report for the events of multiple vCenter servers.  Since get-vieventplus can run against a vCenter at a time, I am cycling through a list of the vCenters of a foreach statement.  However, the report is using 98% of 24 GB of RAM and wedging on.

    He opposed the first vCenter without problem and went to the second.  But when it goes on the second he had exhausted all of the RAM on the virtual computer running the report.

    Are there errors in my code?  I don't get all the errors on the screen - if there are no errors - how can I make this report to operate more efficiently, so that it does not use a lot of RAM on the virtual machine, I'm running from?

    $vcenters = "vcenter1", "vcenter2", "vcenter3", "vcenter4".

    $now = get-Date-time-Minute 0 - 0 - 0 second

    $daysBack = - $now. Day + 1

    $Start = $now. AddMonths(-1). AddDays ($daysBack)

    $DaysInMonth = [DateTime]: DaysInMonth($Start.Year,$Start.Month)

    $Finish = $Start.AddDays ($DaysInMonth)

    $report = @)

    {foreach ($vcenter to $vcenters)

    Connect-VIServer-Server $vCenter - universal_service_account of the username-password password

    $report += get-VIEventPlus-start $start - finishing $finish |

    Where-Object {"VmCreatedEvent", "VmClonedEvent", "VmDeployedEvent" - contains $_.} GetType(). Name} | %{

    $evtThisNewVMEvent = $_

    Try {}

    $vm = get-VM-Id $_. Vm.VM - ErrorAction Stop

    }

    Catch {}

    return

    }

    $vm | Select «-»,

    @{N = 'The virtual computer name'; {E = {$_.name}},

    @{N = "vCPUCount"; E={$_. NumCPU}},

    @{N = "MemoryGB"; E={$_. MemoryGB}},

    @{N = "guest operating system"; E={$_. Guest.ToString (). "Split(":") [1]}},"

    @{N = "ProvisionedSpaceGB"; E = {[math]: Round (($_.))} {{(ProvisionedSpaceGB), 1)}}.

    @{N = "UsedSpaceGB"; E = {[math]: Round (($_.))} {{(UsedSpaceGB), 1)}}.

    @{N = "FreeSpaceGB"; E = {[math]: Round (($_.))} ProvisionedSpaceGB - $_. {{(UsedSpaceGB), 1)}}.

    @{N = "Current host ESXi"; E = {$_.vmhost.} Name.Split(".") [0]}},

    @{N = "vCenter Server"; E={$_. "Uid.Split(":") [0]." {{Split("@") [1]}},

    @{N = "Createduserid"; {E = {$evtThisNewVMEvent.createdTime}}.

    @{N = "created by";} {E = {$evtThisNewVMEvent.UserName}}.

    @{N = 'VMID'; E = {$_.vm.} VM}},

    @{N = "Original ESXi host"; E={$_. VMHost.Name.Split(".") [0]}}

    }

    {Disconnect-VIServer-Server $vCenter - confirm: $false}

    Try something like the script attached.

    I did all the variables, but you should get the idea.

    Note that you can use the EventType parameter on the Get-VIEventPlus function, this avoids having to return all the events, and that should be a filter on the customer.

    This should also save a memory.

  • Firefox using too much hard disk space

    According to my Panel, mozilla firefox takes 8 GB of my hard drive.

    It is a strange question. Firefox should not take more than 70 MB.

  • 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!

  • AVG says using too much memory because multiple firefox is open, but I only see one.

    AVG regularly analyzes in the background. Lately he has demonstrated a popup window that says multiple applications of Firefox are running and using too much memory, so I should close some. But I can only see 1. Tried CTRL ALT DEL to see if I could find the answer, but only showed 1 firefox, and that he used more than 28 000. So I think that AVG is correct, but does not know how to see what who or where they are. They DO NOT display in the lower menu on the main screen, so I guess they are in the background. Do not have the virus, and Firefox, regularly updates itself. What should I do to fix?

    Hi cmich80220.
    It is true, that you should only be able to run only one instance of Firefox at the same time. I searched but could not find someone else with a similar problem. If the problem comes back to Firefox running slowly, you can consult this article for troubleshooting:
