it's an extension, that's for sure

EDIT: nothing i've done has fixed it and now I have 12 GB of ram, so i switched to firefox

The last few minutes of my life (okay, the last few minutes before the last few minutes of my life) have been the biggest continual derp moment I have had in a while. Yoink cannot into the cooking. Well I guess he can, since this stuff actually tastes alright, but in the process I accidentally turned off the stove burner, singed myself turning it back on, burnt my tongue on a hot chip, put too much water with my refried beans, almost spilled chips all over the bench and wound up eating said chips out of a large plastic bucket.

Probably more stupidity besides that I've forgotten about. I was pretty damn hungry and tired, so that's my excuse.

I stopped using Firefox after I noticed it was using three gigabytes of memory for no apparent reason.

[Arx]

I still have no idea what people do to make Firefox use so much memory. It's using 750 megs right now on my PC, and the most I've ever seen is around 1.5 gigs.

It used to run fine at about 300 before I downloaded bought more RAM.

[Flying Dice]

Missing the fact that there's a decimal point, maybe? I'm consistently at 250-300MB regardless of what I'm doing or how many tabs are open.

[Arx]

If I leave it running for a few days it slowly accumulates more weight, but that's if I have it open for like a week. At that point I don't think it's fair to blame the software.

[Flying Dice]

Jesu, you mean people don't close the browser when they're not using it? o.0

[Orange Wizard]

I usually have a couple of things open where I don't want to lose my place (podcasts, webcomics, etc.) but can't be arsed using bookmarks every single time.

[hops]

On the other hand, my "Interesting" folder for my bookmark probably has about 1000 bookmarks in it now.

I never check it.

[Flying Dice]

Hoo boy, yeah. I've got around ~1000 bookmarks in my "might want to find this later" folder, and ~2000 in my "need this shit for studies/work; fanfiction+totally legal anime and manga+webcomic bookmarks; assorted other shit" folder, plus maybe another 800 in my research subfolders, modding subfolders, and finished series folder.

[Xantalos]

I also know the feeling, I recently had to clear out about 14 gigabytes worth of interesting/funny pictures from my computer that I never looked at.

I managed to complete a group exam on Finnish literature today, even though I ended up alone.

Spoiler: Paraphrased (click to show/hide)

Recommended group size: 4
Time limit: 2 hours

1. Write 250-300 words (In Finnish, equivalent to maybe 500 words in English) on the nature of Finnish literature, as if you were writing for a text book meant for foreigners.

2. List 10 works of Finnish art literature that every high school student should read. Elaborate thoroughly on your choices.

3. List 3 methods for studying these works in a classroom. Consider the pros and cons of each.

And if that wasn't enough, there will be an individual test later on. I am pretty sure someone is insane, whether it be me or my literature teacher.

Turns out the power outage yesterday didn't cause the problems with going fullscreen. Merely installing Windows Updates did. Still glad I kept the installer for the drivers.

Microsoft, why you break yourself??

No clue, but FF is running at 600ish right now, for me, and it only has about 25 tabs open and the flash plugin off.

When I actually used it as a primary browser, it would regularly top 2 gigs (and crash shortly thereafter), to all appearances just due to the number of tabs up (>100, with the amount varying). It's explicitly why I switched over to Opera for primary use -- it also hovers over the gig of ram territory (1.4 at the moment, and I actually purged a lot of tabs recently), but remains stable despite it.

[MaximumZero]

You guys should write a script that shuts tabs/deletes favorites after a period of non use.
