My computer has been hiccuping a lot lately-suffering from lock up, because it keeps running out f system resources. Now, my computer is a P4 at about 2 GHz and over 256mb of ram to spare; usually the most I ever run is firefox, a messenger program, maybe windows media player, and sometimes limewire.
I've tried everything- checking if I have a virus or adware, checking if I'm being hacked; but today, ultimately, when I was running nothing but MSN messenger and Firefox, and I checked my task manager I resigned to one conclusion, and one conclusion only- Firefox is a system hog.
I would seem I'm not the only one who's noticed. And here.
Just when we thought it was safe to stop worrying about our browsers, we have to put up with poor old XP coming to a crashing halt, and all because the browser is sucking all the memory. :(
Dear old Firefox, I hate to lose you, but if I find another non-IE browser that uses less memory, I'm sorry to say I'm going straight to my "Add/Remove Programs" box and bidding you adieu.
