[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 156147, member: 8287"] I think sometimes if you open a LOT of tabs or windows it can get that high. I have had Firefox on XP creep up to way over 100Megs with just 2 tabs open over time. Firefox used to have a BAD memory leak in the Windows version which they say is fixed, but still my memory usage in FF on the PC creeps way up there higher than I think it should. Only closing it and reopening it brings it back to normal. I have found Safari in both in 10.3.9 and 10.4.2 to be not that bad in memory usage. What version of OSX are you running? For sure with just one tab open mine in Tiger does not get anywhere near that high. Edit: Am on an iMac 333 that I just installed a new Flyback Transformer and testing it out. In Panther 10.3.9 and Safari is at around 25Megs usage with just Mac Forums open. [/QUOTE]
