Hi all,
I was wondering if there's some sort of memory leak in Firefox. Every time I use it for like 1.5/2 hours without closing it, my entire system starts to slow down until I can't do anything anymore. I'm pretty sure Firefox causes this, because I never have this problem when I'm not using Firefox, and when I close Firefox (with Ctrl-Alt-Delete, because closing it normally doesn't work when it starts acting crazy) the problem almost immediately goes away. Now I don't know much about computers, but I think it's pretty clear that Firefox is doing something my PC doesn't like a whole lot.
However, since I've never heard of anyone who had this kind of problems with FF, I could imagine it's not Firefox causing this. I use the DownThemAll and the 4Chan plugins, perhaps one of those are doing something. Or perhaps it's another program that doesn't like FF and starts getting crazy when I use it a lot. Like I said, I don't know enough about computers to find out what's really going on.
I'd appreciate it if someone here could help in some way. If you need more information to determine what's wrong than what I posted here please ask. I'd really like for this annoying problem to go away.
