I have Win7 64 bit (sp1 applied) with Firefox and find it just keeps creeping up on the memory. Yesterday after an hours and a half use, it was running at just under 2 Mb! Need to look into it a bit more as its only on this forum it happens...... otherwise I'll just use chrome :wink:Stuart Truman said:Win7 64bit with Firefox running fine.

My suspicion is that its Firefox memory leak and Adobe flash that are combining to cause Firefox to 'hang'... :roll:Stuart Truman said:markeg said:I have Win7 64 bit (sp1 applied) with Firefox and find it just keeps creeping up on the memory.

Firefox definitely has a memory leak, but it's not the forum crashing.
markeg said:So, I believe I have tracked it down. It also crashes in Chrome, but only the plugin so the browser stays active. In IE and Firefox it causes either the browsers to increase memory footprint until they either crash or hang, a dependent process to do the same(like plugin-container), or both . Culprit is good old Adobe Flash, which I believe is being used to run the ads in the top left of the forum window...
Have checked and am running the latest plugin. Also checked Adobe and there are a number of bug reports on browser crashes (I found around 1800 on a simple search) - see here.
Until there is an updated plugin, think the answer is use chrome, or keep closing/opening your browser of choice.
