Firefox Problems

Alright, so when I load up Firefox, it runs smooth as usual, then I go to facebook, then open Restaurant City (I know LOL). It runs smooth for about 2 hours, then after a while, my firefox drags like hell, like when I right click on a Bookmark, it takes about 2-3 seconds for the context Menu to appear, etc. Same goes with anything else I do on firefox. My other running applications, iTunes, IDM, run smoothly without dragging. EDIT: I also run IE for another Facebook account, and it doesn’t drag as well.
EDIT2: My FF Version is Firefox/3.0.10
EDIT3: I am using Windows 7 Ultimate Build 7100
My specs are:
Core 2 Duo 2.6 GHZ
2 GB Ram
GeForce 9400 GT
Any ideads?
Thanks in Advance.
Answer #1
Firefox I believe has memory leaks, thats why..
Answer #2
Firefox I believe has memory leaks, thats why..
EDIT: From what I understand, a memory leak is that Firefox hogs up the Memory and doesn’t share it with others, but my problem is that Firefox drags, not the other applications. So these are two different problems right? Or am I wrong?
Answer #3
Sorry for the double post, but, anyone?
Answer #4
Reinstall or try a lower version.
Check if it happens. If it does then go to ‘about:config’ in firefox, click ‘I’ll be careful, I promise.’
Search for ‘browser.cache.memory.enable’ set this to false.
See if this solves your problem.

I noticed that if i leave firefox open for many hours it takes much amount of ram.Did you noticed what is happening with ram when you have that problem?Maybe firefox is using all the available ram(especially if you don’t have much) but the weird is that everything else run ok
Answer #6
I reinstalled, but it still happens, don’t wanna go to a lower version though. I think the problem is that Restaurant City is a Resource Hog in itself. I was running it on High Quality, and discovered that my CPU was running around 80-90+ %, so I set it to low quality, and the CPU usage is around 20-40%, and the lag is gone.

It happens to me, firefox will sore to 99% but the rest of the programs run OK.
It’s probably add-ons.
Answer #8
Yep is probably add-ons but i can do anything without them:P
Thanks god i have plenty of ram
Answer #9
As I said, once I lowered the quality in Restaurant City (a browser game from Facebook), the lag stopped. So it wasn’t the add-ons.
