Why Firefox 3.6.13 is extremely slow and occupies so much memory? This is the worst firefox version ever made... Useing over 120 MB of memory, even over 220 MB of RAM... and even more if you really want to explore some pages...

Sorry, this isn't Instant Messaging. You may have to wait more than 10 minutes to get an answer.

Depending upon how much total RAM you have installed and the content of the pages that are loaded, 272,896K isn't all that bad.

See the about:memory page (open that page via the location bar like a website)

Firefox keeps the content of currently open web pages in memory and websites that have a lot of images can take a lot of memory to store the uncompressed images.
