Firefox issue?

[slipd]

Hey guys,

I left my machine on overnight last night with just Outlook and Firefox running and when I looked this morning my temps (cpu/case) were a little bit higher than I would have expected? The room was cold and the machine had been idle for the best part of 9hrs...

I had a look at the Task Manager and found:

Surely that's not right for Firefox is it? I had one instance running with two tabs inside it? They were displaying two static info pages from the TDA (teaching website) so it's not as though they had Flash apps running or anything?

As soon as I closed them, the memory usage dropped out? I think it was up to about 1.5GB

I'm using the latest version of FF.

Any ideas? I'm back to using Opera and Safari atm.

Cheers,

SW.

Firefox 2 you mean by latest yeah? Not the latest beta of FF3?

Yeah, still on version 2.

I'm not alone then... I've noticed with the latest couple of updates that performance has gone right down? It appears to be getting more resource-hungry in general?

I've been using FF since v1.0 (those were the days ), and I've really started to notice a difference of late. I thought it was just me
