Upgrade Storage(Huge) Memory consumption by Firefox
This is a copy and paste from another thread with a few additions. I am wanting to know whether other Zotero users experience the same issues with Firefox and OOo under Windows XP.
I have been monitoring the processes in the task manager and specifically firefox. By way of example;
I open firefox, it has consumed 60MB of memory. Inserting citations from OOo results in the following memory increase;
1 citation -> 91MB
2 -> 105MB
3 -> 118MB
4 -> 133MB
5 -> 149MB
6 -> 163MB
7 -> 177MB
8 -> 197MB (I edited the citation). This citation also bought up the 'busy script' dialogue.
The other thing that I also notice when I first attempt to insert a citation into OOo is that MSWord also starts in the task manager. Yes I do have the Zotero word plugin installed, but why is WINWORD.EXE started?
Can anyone else confirm these large chunks of memory being consumed by Firefox?
I restart firefox when it gets to about 300Mb of memory - a real pain in the proverbial, considering that is only 15 or so citations!!!
