Subject: Firefox 1.5 - low virtual memory

I need some help here.
I use Firefox 1.5 and it worked fine for awhile. Over the last few weeks, however, after I've been online for a few hours, Windows pops up a window that warns me that my computer is low on virtual memory and that it is trying to create more (or something like that). So, I went to the task manager and looked at the virtual memory and sure enough, Firefox is using a huge amount of virtual memory.
Is anyone else having this problem and does anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance. |

This is due to Firefox caching pages. Firefox 1.5 holds pages you've rendered in memory to make back-forward browsing faster. You can read more about it here. As the article states, it's a trade-off. With the problems you're experiencing, I'd do what the article states and set the number of pages cached to 0 to disable the feature.
