I suspect your amd64 version of firefox leaks memory 1.8 times faster than my i386 version of firefox??? Do you run any i386? They (mozilla) did finally wake up and realize it is a memory pig and did this quantum thing, but in the process broke a lot of things in the process, should we call this progrress by regression? I browse quiet confortable in 3.25G on a 32Bit OS on even an old E5800, using the pig that is FireFox 45.3.0 ESR. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@freebsd.org
