firefox_pagefile_usageHere’s a screenshot I took this morning of Windows Taska Manager on my work computer after closing Firefox, which had been left running over the weekend. The pagefile usage went from 1.6 GB to 476 MB after ending the firefox.exe process, which was the only way I could shut down Firefox since its main window wasn’t responding to any mouse clicks. Can you say “major memory leak problem?”
