Wouter, Your point is very interesting, may there be something to do with Google applications (since I am, for instance, using them very much)? UserX,

Wouter,
Your point is very interesting, may there be something to do with Google applications (since I am, for instance, using them very much)?

It crashes slightly less, but it has the same memory/cpu issues. These issues seem to be worsened and/or caused by Google Mail and Google Reader, I think.

I have noticed that it crashes more often with google related sites (gmail,orkut etc). To quote stats , I am currently running 18 tabs and the memory usage is 1,09,208k in comparison FF3b5 is 6x times the memory usage of explorer.exe . I am running Vista 64bit and I have no freakin idea if some of the crashes are being caused by the o.s . note: Crashes are of two types 1. It stops responding 2. It crashes completely and I get a dialog box of FF in which it asks me what I was doing when it crashed I am running FF3b5 with 1 gb of memory .

Here's hoping Firefox 3 will be better. So I am not just imagining that Firefox 2 has a memory problem and this happens to other people too. Here’s hoping Firefox 3 will be better.

I was forced to use Firefox Beta 5 because of the memory issues of Firefox 2. I am using Opera in sites where Firefox beta 5 crashes or doesn't perform well. Like Phil, I am also happy with the performance of beta 5. I am both using Firefox and Opera. I was forced to use Firefox Beta 5 because of the memory issues of Firefox 2.

Finally, they got it right with beta 5 and I've been very very happy with its performance.

FF without extensions isn't much. I only have 6 small ones (mediaplayerconnectivity, foxmarks, downthemall, stumble etc.) running instead of 10-15 as in the beginnings. No worries - your article was a good read and you clearly described your point. At work we use an internal monitoring page (auto refresh every 60s) wich manages to freeze an extension free FF within an hour though. horrible. So I somewhat understand your frustration.

In addition, believe me, restarting doesn't work. F. Baub, Thank you for your suggestion, I will disable it. Tom,
