My computer constantly gets bogged down by Firefox's voracious appetite for RAM! I am constantly clearing my cache & using memory cleaner to bump up my available memory, but with FF using over TEN GIGS OF RAM, at some point there's nothing else to do but reboot FF, and try again. WHY is it using up so much memory???

OK, I'll try this and see what happens... sorry I'm so tardy.
