    Firefox 4

    Anyone using it getting a massive memory leak???

    On about 3 different PC's all running different versions of Windows (XP, Vista and 7) after about 5 minutes its gobbled up about 300-400MB of RAM - how shit.

    Am going back to IE and Chrome....

    the other thing that shits me about chrome is you cant install google toolbar - so I dont have my bookmarks when I use chrome on different computers..... otherwise I would be using chrome for everything and IE just for Outlook webmail...

    suprisingly IE9 I find is pretty good with the memory.

    Actually you can with Google Chrome, it syncs everything.

    Click on the spanner, then options, then sync

    ive gone back to FF3

    4 is too buggy still
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    It syncs between computers themselves - because I need the bookmarks on work computers it will download them to that computer - I dont really want that kind of info on PC's that a lot of people access (mainly because I have bank account stuff etc etc) bookmarked

    Thats the good thing about the google toolbar - you log in and everything is there, you log out and its gone...

    can you explain why chrome only has 5 widows open yet there is 11 instances of it running.....
