I would say yes. But this is not always a bad thing. Morstly, increased mem usage is the resolt of firefox keeping old web pages in memory and greater use of cache (FastBack feature and stuff like that - also FF will allow you to go back to "expired" web pages like .php and .asp even when IE wouldn't, so it keeps those in memory).

 

Currently my FF is using 65MB -> mostly becouse I have it set up to use 65536B (64MB) of in memory page cache and last 30 visited pages.

 

In FF you can always customize the settings I mentioned, if you don't like the mem usage you can always decrease it....

 

Thanks for that info,exactly what I was looking for.

 

FF is currently using 98MB of mem,would switching to lower usage hamper it?

Probably - depends on your surfing habbits...

 

This is the link I was trying to find:

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Reducing_memory_...e_%28Firefox%29

Also see the link at the bottom of that page.

 

Also see FasterFox plugin:

http://fasterfox.mozdev.org/

Through it you can change some of the memory setting a bit easyer...

 

Also try this "url": about:cache - it will show you your cache use.
