Heavy firefox usage

[starbearer]

My firefox memory usage jumps to 600MB,with just 2 addons(Adblock and downloadhelper)and the basic theme,and with only 4-5 tabs open.Is that normal?The same thing happens with Chrome and Flock as well,they also hog up the memory.
If it isn't normal,what should I do?And if it is,which one's a real light weight browser?

What are you looking at? Tons of flash video/games? Because that's not normal: not at all.

I've got 25 tabs open right now (don't ask), and Firefox is barely using 150mb of RAM with about 8 addons. Even without CleanMem running, it's STILL lighter then that.

So either downloadhelper or something else is sapping your resources (virus/malware), because that's NOT natural.

Do us a favour, and run HijackThis, and attach the .log file to this post.

Here is the file.Those 2 addons are quite common.They wouldn't be if they use so much memory.
The attachment page does not work,so I've inserted images of the log file instead.


Thanks for the help.

Yes 600 Mb it's odd. About 200 Mb is normal for Firefox. I had a look at the logs and I see nothing suspicious...

Can you try again uploading the log? I can't read those images too well... my eyes aren't that good I'm afraid.

If that happens every browser you try, then i'm pretty sure it's not any of the browsers. It's something what runs at at background or like there have been already said you got virus/malware etc. on your machine
