Another thread here( Closed now).

I wonder, i tried update from ff itself and it shows a file of 557 KB, while I tried to downlaod from majorgeeks, it showed 4.9 MB. Whats. the explanation for this.

 

Maybe the language makes a difference in bytes.
Installing v1.5.0.1 English over v1.5.0.1 Dutch was no problem.
Installing v1.5.0.2 English over v1.5.0.1 English was no problem
Yes I installed Firefox two times today LOL.

 

From Ccleaners forum:

FF users remember that FF now has integrated upates that don't require you to download the full installer anymore. You can either wait for FF to prompt you to update or go to Help>Check for updates. This will prevent you from having to download the whole program.

 

Thanks for clearing the matter.

 

With the previous version of firefox, I noted that it crashes each time I install some extension or theme. I don,t know it was a known issue or just for me?
I updated the version yesterday. Just today I installed two themes and firefox crashed again. It feels really bad.

 

I just updated through firefox and it updated to 1.5.0.2 seems to work ok.

 

Aigle, if I were you, I would uninstall it, kill the profile and install again fresh. Something might have gotten munged up somewhere or somehow..

 

Hi Aigle,

I had the same prob with 1.5.0.1 with constant crashes so I ghosted back to 1.5.0.0 and waited for this release.

Haven't had a prob as yet and am running noscript as the only extension.

Memory usage is around is around 33meg as I'm typing.

 

What do u mean by this.

BTW, i just installed few more themes and no crash. May be some issue with some specific theme.

 

Thanks, but that seesm a lot of work, so i will wait to see if it crashed again ....
I did post in their forum as well.

 

when u unistall firefox, ur profile stays on ur computer. u can delete it by going to C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\Mozilla and deleting teh firefox folder or just delete the mozilla folder.

 

Let's just hope they fix the other 100+ memory leaks

 

I did not do a clean install. I just installed new version by browser update.

 

Mine using 49 MB with 5 tabs but no avtive browsing currently as I am writing. I have about 9 themes and plenty of extensions( 22 approx) installed.
Let,s talk about the memory use by the new version.
BTW, opera also updated its version recently- new version on my system with 4 tabs but no active browsing uses 20.5 MB.

 

yes i know. since u asked about kerodo's statement so i clarified it for u

 

Each & everytime there has been a leak in Firefox. They claim to have fixed it, but thats kust bs - They are still there, has always been, and will always be.

 

Ah, ok. I got it. Thanks.

 

Hello Brian............would you please say more to this...i am interested...

 

well the memory leaks can be attributed to a few things: bugs in firefox, faulty extensions, too many extensions, or too many open tabs (firefox loads pages into memory). firefox isnt always the culprit of memory leaks and it intentionally uses memory for loading pages, its not a bug.
