CTskifreak Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 First - should we add a Chrome extensions sticky? I feel as though there are a lot of good extensions out there. Second - I want other people to try Memory Fox I've had great success with it keeping my usage low, but some people have mentioned crashes. I want other people to test it out before I put it in the suggested Extensions sticky. Side note- Ironically enough, I was thinking about resetting those two stickies just recently. And then today BAM it happened. AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted May 8, 2011 Moderators Share Posted May 8, 2011 I'm not opposed to a separate sticky for other browsers. Theres also been discussion that maybe we should just have one topic to discuss browser extensions as a whole. I think that could get confusing as people will be trying to install FF extensions on opera and chrome or vice versa. If people are interested in seeing a chrome or opera topic than I'm all for it. Cant comment on that memory thing. I don't use any software that tries to optimize ram usage in any way as they always seem to cause problems.

ishan_rulz Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I tried Memory Fox, and even though, it seemed a little snappier, I experience a few crashes. Simplicity is hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTskifreak Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 isIan can I ask what you are doing when it happened? I have it set to all processes - and I have not had it crash once on me. AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus that plugin hasn't been approved by Mozilla yet, so it might as well be deemed experimental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This add on was previously called AFOM and it is around at least a year,some reviewers were satisfied,some not what I wonder is why is this add on not being approved yet.

Moderators Andavari Posted May 11, 2011 Moderators Share Posted May 11, 2011 Possibly not approved due to causing crashes which Firefox wouldn't normally have occur without that plugin/extension - just my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also may imply that if they approve this add on, they also admit at the same time that they have a memory leakage problem that they themselves could not solve yet...

Winapp2.ini Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Sorry AJ, I wasn't able to test MemoryFox, since launching it produced an instant crash (for MemoryFox, not for Firefox) winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTskifreak Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 Wow - I've honestly been running it for the past few days with no issues. Hmm - are you guys using some interfering add-on? I'm entirely curious now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of memory that Firefox 4 uses is actually beyond absurd. But then again using some Chrome-based browsers in the past I've noticed allot of memory usage too. I guess it's more reason to just upgrade our system RAM and max it out, as programs in general can only get heavier resource-wise on the system.

Winapp2.ini Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 It may be because I tried to run it in Nightly, I didn't actually try it with Fx4 because I only have Fx5b1 (the repackage of Aurora into a fake beta), Aurora, and Nightly. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
