Firefox question

T4i

If google doesnt work try another big name like https://www.bbc.co.uk

If other web pages load it isnt your computer at fault, its the ISP your connected to.

Only bad thing about Firefox is it eats up a lot of memory, usually if I leave it open over night the next day it'll be using 400mb's of memory...I just have to remember to close it every night before I stop using my computer

This is a 'feature'. See http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/ben/archives/009749.html to find out how to mitigate it. Google for [Firefox memory] for some other things you can try.

One reason why I don't use Firefox for personal use (only development). Opera can suffer from the same problem, but nowhere near as much. I quite often leave Opera open for over a week at work and I've never seen it consume more than 90mb of resources, whereas I've seen Firefox go over the 500mb mark.
