[Solved][3.6.3] Using 1,5GB Memory

[goldenix]

Hi,
Problem:

When I start downloading files, Firefox memory usage skyrockets. No mater if I download many or only 1 large file lets say 1 GB file or many files with total size 1 GB. Memory usage gets larger & larger.

Fir example Im DL right now 250 MB file & memory usage is 673MB(And is stable & constant) - 300MB (cuz its always uses 300 - 400 MB if its just running.)

Also, I've found that an external download app. works very well for my usage and this one multi-threads for faster downloading...

reason I use firefox to DL files is cuz I can do a part of a file & then preview it im MPC. & of course abort downloading it, if it turns out some #####. I tried IDM but I I get banned from the site for using it even with only using 1 thread or they wont give me files if I use idm.

I did not have any problems with memory before I upgraded to this version tho.

Edit: ye this is impossible, I cant Download large files, the longer it doenloads the bigger the memory consumoption & then it crashes.

Screw it im goin back the the old version.

You've got something interfering. Perhaps an extension written by a drunken developer. Too bad you reverted to an older version. That action always opens up security problems.

okey I felt like I should feedback this & say that I fixed the issue by uninstalling Firebug. & yes memory consumption is back to 200 mb even if I DL loads of stuff.

Thus issue solved.

Thanks. That's now reported here. I suggest you report this to the Firebug developer so it can be fixed.
