And here is another thing ... I opened a webpage whose size was 97MB ! I can't give the link because some images in the page aren't so friendly ... though the site was http://encyclopediadramatica.com/ { THE SITE CAN CONTAIN 18+ IMAGES } and my memory consumption increased by 645 Megabytes how can a 97MB page take 645 MB in the memory ? I would never know ...

Tried the same thing in opera and the memory usage increased by ONLY 110MB ! now that is explainable ... but what's up with firefox ? I don't think it can handle heavy pages at all ...

But I guess I have to use it .... No other choice avaliable
nikhil, that's seriously quite strange!

on my PC, opera/fx comparison memory consumptions are 22mb and 53mb respectively for the same tabs.
