Nick you're a star!
Nick, you've just pointed to a link which has probably solved my biggest bugbear by far with Firefox: its persistent memory leak eating up my precious RAM, meaning that I have to restart the browser several times a day. I've limited the cache memory to 16Mb, which should keep things in check (assuming all works as intended).
The article talks about the Windows version exclusively, but under Linux, a lot of the tips are valid too.

Enjoy..
Wow!
Not apparently, does!
It does seem faster..
doesnt it?
But how do you tell for sure when you already have a high speed dsl?
I surfed around SEW a bit last night and that certainly seemed faster and i guess it's cos of the added threading? SEW makes so many damn network connections it's painful but it did *seem* improved last night...
Hehe
I'm on dailup (don't ask) so I can see a Huuuuuuge difference.
