I do (I close the browser), I never have Firefox opened more than 1 minute or so with a few tabs (no more than 10) and I have it configured to delete all the cache data every time it closes... still, 100 MiB of RAM is too much for me and the way I use the browser (I think windows does a better memory management in this regard). > In any case, the point is all modern browsers want a lot of memory. Yes. In addition, I also have noticed that 64 bits applications are noticeably more memory hungry than their counterparts in 32 bits which can be irrelevant when you have 8 GiB of RAM but it can make a difference when using 2/4 GiB instead...
