>> My system has 256MB RAM, which, coming from Windows 2000 a few months ago, >> I consider a lot of RAM. Windows never needed to use all of it.
> Did you ever have 40 IE windows open? I never came back to this bug because your comment annoyed me so much by its mistaken presumption that I used IE on Windows when what I'd meant is that Firefox on the same computer running Windows never needed this much RAM. Anyway, I am long past that. I haven't seen this behaviour on Iceweasel / Firefox for a long long time so I'll close thig bug. Pete Boyd
