Re: Firefox Tool Bar gone...

Chuck,

I am opening and closing tabs all day, I just happened to have eight open at 
that time. Apparently the setting for Firefox is global and is not a "per tab" 
setting. 

One trick I have noticed to release the memory is to minimize and then maximize 
Firefox.

Hopefully version 2 will have some better memory management.

Hmmm... Are you the lucky one ? :-)

Thanks for the info. I'm getting ready to move to a new PC with more memory
so guess I'll wait till latter this week and see how it is then :-)

I usually have WAY more tabs open then 8 so no doubt that is the issue and
is mentioned quite a bit in that link. I still think they need to do
something to fix that. A window that isn't open and isn't doing anything
should release memory I would think.

Chuck,

I have not changed the value from the default which is -1 and have not
experienced any problems memory wise with the latest version 1.5.0.4 on both
my work and home machines.

Work: 1GB RAM
Home: 768MB

Firefox does use a lot of memory though (currently 81MB on my work machine)
with 5 tabs open.
