a link to what?

and (3) i have take suggestions
so far the only suggestions have been pointing to the plugins that I added AFTER i had been noticing memory problems
not sure how removing plugins that were added after the memory problem would solve the issue

the other suggestion was new profile, i did that

so what suggestions were mentioned that i so called didnt take?

no, i have a brand new $1600 laptop with all the bells n whistles, nothing is wrong with my computer
i only have this issue with firefox

also, you must only open 1 page and not use ANY tabs if it only consumes 1.2 megs of ram on your computer

Milton Bradley, you see, we're not making this stuff up.

Now we're getting somewhere.



ok thats great, but ive listed my addons twice
which ones are the memory hogs then?
adblock plus, which only blocks ads, not store them, is the main reason why firefox consumes 1.9gigs of memory for me?

Do you mean 1.2 gigs? Just sayin' :wink:


even if he means 1.2 gigs, thats not too far away from my 1.9 gig problem, i mean really

Bring me your computer and pay me and I'll find out for you. If you don't want to do that, we've told you several times how to do your own troubleshooting.

That should have happened by about the third post. Make sure you don't reinstall the problem before you test. And use Task Manager with Mem Usage and VM columns displayed, instead of that speedometer thing.

Last hint: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox .

File a bug report if you want. Be prepared to supply concise and precise information. Sorry, not trying to be unhelpful, but I'm out of time.

By the way about 1/3 of that 1.7 GB was used by plugins, which are not the same as extensions. Plugins are separate programs that run in the Firefox window, and Mozilla doesn't control them. So you've got a lot of serious garbage running.

Post by MiltonBradley »

what trouble shooting did you suggest that I didnt try?
you're being very vague, as ive state that ive tried what i've read so far
where is said trouble shooting that i'm missing?

the speedometer is simply a CPU meter, so why would i use that to judge mem usage?
the topic process gadget does indeed show how much memory is being used by any given app that's using the top most memory,its accurate

you say to use task manager to watch memory, theres only one process for firefox, and thats firefox.exe. so whats the purpose of watching the memory meters for that WHEN IT WILL NEVER ACTUALLY TELL ME WHICH PART OF FIREFOX IS CONSUMING THE MOST MEMORY?(task manager wont tell me if its a page, plugin, or extension)

and finally, how the hell do you know what is taking up all my memory?
how do you know its the plugins, and not the extensions?
i never even listed the plugins i have, so how do u know its the plugins?
i printed a PIECE of my about: memory page, but the end was truncated, theres no way in the word you can know exactly what is taking up my memory
But, to shut you up before you even reply, the only plugin i added was the quiktime plugin, but yet you shouting out that i have a lot of garbage plugins? other then the standard plugins that come with normal install,i only added one. So you saying quicktime(even though no tab is using quicktime) is hogging over 1 gig of memory? Add ONE plugin amounts to a load of garbage running on my computer as you say? Yeah ok buddy. You obviously dont know much about what you speak. You should leave the the helping to somebody else more educated

why is stuff that I like to run considered garbage? you can even name what im running, you are just reaching. Furthermore, just keep those crap comments to yourself

you talk like you know it all,but without me giving you more detail about whats going on with my computer, you really dont know what the memory problem is, so stop making wild accusations

if you are going to try to help fine, but please dont even respond to me if you going to be trying to talk to me like im a lil kid or something, you got the wrong one


EDIT: i just went back to my picture i posted and see why you claimed i had a lot of garbage running. Once again, you OBVIOUSLY dont know much about computers and how firefox works. The process running is called plugin-container. Do you know when that pops up? It'll pop up when running a flash movie on a page. but once you close the page, the plugin-container will disappear. It has NOTHING to do with 20 plugins or something you ASSUMED i added. If you ever ran a flash movie, you would know that the flash plugin is activated, which causes plug-in container to run.It will get up to a couple hundred megabytes depending on how big or how long a movie you watch.

JUST WATCH A YOUTUBE VIDEO AND PLUGIN-CONTAINER WILL APPEAR

So Please read up on plugin-container, because again you were just reaching, trying to sound like you knew something, but was simply off based

Re: this is getting out of hand. firefox uses 1.9gig of ram

Post by VanillaMozilla »

OK, Milton Bradley, when you finish with Trolly's request(s), let's try this again, from scratch. Tell us what happens, but please be concise.


Reporting memory
1. Use Windows Task manager. Report Mem Usage, VM, and %CPU for firefox.exe and plugin-container.exe.

Explanation: VM is approximately the total memory allocated. Mem Usage is just the amount of RAM used. If they are very different, that means that some memory is on disk and some is in RAM. That is a condition that can slow everything down. I added %CPU because it can sometimes be confused with problems due to memory use.

2. about:memory. Copy and paste. Don't use a screen shot.


Debugging
1. Create a new profile. Observe all warnings. DON'T delete your old one, and DON'T try to create a custom location!! To keep it simple, do not change ANY preferences, and do not add any themes, extensions, or user chrome.
2. Check for extensions. Tools > Add-Ons > Extensions. If you find any, give us the name. Disable all extensions and restart Firefox if necessary.
3. Do your normal browsing. When you observe a problem, report memory here (see above). If there is any particular Web site that seems to cause a problem, post a link.
4. Tools > Clear Recent History... > Clear cache. Report memory again.


If you still have a problem, consider Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Submit performance data. This will send Mozilla information on what is going on, and you're the ideal person to do it. Just to give you an idea, I've NEVER experienced a memory problem, and have never been able to duplicate a significant problem, even after considerable effort.

Keep in mind the possibility that the Web sites you have open may just be demanding all those resources. Many Web sites are coded poorly, and they can allocate memory. We already discovered that plugins are taking over 500 MB. That's what I meant by garbage.

Hello, thanks for being civil in your trying to help me
I already posted my about:memory page last week (its in the other post)
But let me get it to build back up again (right now im only at about 1gig,with 21 tabs open

But i should start firefox with new profile,disable all plugins, and then show about:mem?
or you want the about:mem now before I do the new profile trouble shooting?

Sorry, we all get a little grumpy about this stuff.
I already posted my about:memory page last week (its in the other post)

We need the whole thing. Copy and paste. Not a screen shot.

I would say this is still Trolly's request. Post about:memory using your current profile. Then try my procedure.

Milton Bradley, do be sure to check back with us. There is a very similar bug that's being worked on now by the Mozilla muckimucks, that was reported by one of their own. But they're having a heck of a time getting to the bottom of it, and it seems to have popped up recently. So your information will be very interesting.

Re: this is getting out of hand. firefox uses 1.9gig of ram

the above is with about 50 windows open

but another problem really was, if i close a bunch of windows,firefox doesnt release that memory,even hours later. It'll only do it if i completely exit out of the program

500 MB on js? That's a lot. Guess some JS is hording memory. And it is related to ... (drums) ... facebook.
