The problem is firefox will cache all things that it loads (images, etc) until it's closed.

Hmmm... I don't seem to have that problem here. I loaded about 30 tabs, including a few of my fav flash games. It goes up a whole lot on mem usage, but when I close them all out it reduces to around 150,000k

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
And on XPsp3
Though I'm going to install the latest this month, hope it doesn't start running up on cache.
Been exclusive to Mozilla since Mozilla beta, this would be the first problem I ever had, if it starts doing this.

Second post lol.. Unless you specifically refer to asking Rogean to ban himself. I didn't bother with that. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I know older versions of Firefox used to have crazy bad memory leaks. I switched to Chrome about 3 months ago after doing some speed tests. It loads pages (especially pages with graphics) so much quicker than Firefox did. It kind of sucks having to relearn everything, but Firefox 4 is going to look just like Chrome anyway.

Load a page full of GIF animation and watch Chrome suffer. Firefox still has more usability, and Internet Explorer and Opera are more secure than either.

I've never had any issue with gifs at all, and all of the tests I've ran or seen show Chrome leaps and bounds ahead of Firefox in handling graphics. I just tested it out by loading a page full of gifs and it didn't even slow down noticeably. Did you read an article on this somewhere or have a specific page in mind to test with?

Yeah, have you tried Chrome? I was an avid FireFox user until they made Chrome nice and stable.

A quick Google yielded this thread for testing http://forum.glassjaw.net/topic/7069...mation-thread/. Chrome is pretty bad compared to Firefox, but it has got a little better. Scroll up and down, watch the CPU usage and watch the chop. Doesn't happen in Firefox.
