Firefox 7 memory issue

[darkstar845]

They said they enhanced the memory usage of Firefox in version 7.01, but firefox takes up 280-310MB of ram when I have 9 tabs mostly toms website.
Is this normal? and sometimes I get not responding tabs for 5 seconds. And on my Windows 7 desktop, Firefox startup time is a little slower than IE and Chrome.

Yeah, Firefox is becoming a memory hog. I have only two tabs opened and it already takes 270MB.

Try the MemoryFox addon: https/addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/memory-fox/

There are a few issues with firefox 7 and mozilla recommends you do not upgrade to version 7 yet.
