Hmmm...

(1) Currently running an experiment with Xubuntu Gutsy Gibbon on an older desktop with only 128MB of RAM, Intel Celeron Processor 1.2GHz, 20 GB HDD. Don't even ask about the video processor, LOL, though the machine is performing excellently with Xubuntu. Thumb Up Thumb Up Thumb Up Though it runs well, Firefox pulls much more on the RAM than the Epiphany Web Browser. Soooo....

(2) I went and checked the other desktop which has 2GB of RAM. With extensions etc, FF was pulling 200MB of RAM at times.Eeker For a very non-technical person I found this, well, fascinating. Laugh

Question: Is it just the extensions or is FF always such a drain on RAM? Confused

Postcript: I won't touch that IE siht again for as long as I live. LOL. Light

"History is not a procession of illustrious people. It's about what happens to a people. Millions of anonymous people is what history is about." - James Baldwin

" ... the United States, for generations, has sustained two parallel but opposed states of mind about military atrocities and human rights: one of U.S. benevolence, generally held by the public, and the other of ends-justify-the-means brutality sponsored by counterinsurgency specialists. Normally the specialists carry out their actions in remote locations with little notice in the national press. That allows the public to sustain its faith in a just America, while hard-nosed security and economic interests are still protected in secret. ": Robert Parry, investigative reporter and author

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State." - Joseph Goebbels, German Minister of Propaganda, 1933-1945

And, I thought that I was the only one who noticed that FF will periodically tie up RAM.

Well, they fell down on that one. When using No Scripts to allow the running of scripts from a given site, it max' out my CPU, uses extra RAM, and takes longer to reload the site than FF previous vers. did...

..When disturbed, a rattler will try and withdraw on most occasions. However, if it feels cornered, the startling, sizzling buzz of its rattle is an unmistakable warning....
