[FireFox] I figured the folks here would have fun with this

Over in the Microsoft Forum, DelmarPip See Profile made the following comment

said by DelmarPip:

you need 32GB if you are using firefox trust me

A link to the thread with that comment, and my reply is below.

»Re: Upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for $39.99!

I know a lot of people in this forum really push the limits with Firefox...but 32 GB? Have any of you come across a need in Firefox that you needed that much RAM?

I assumed that remark was made (more or less) "in jest"

Well, I think the person who made that comment make it worse then it is. However, he did reply to my comment in that thread. Below is what he said

quote:

i noticed after using firefox to watch webcams with just 2 ff windows open i dont use tabs that way i can keep both webcams side by side on the screen anyways after a while firefox eats up all the ram an windows aero turns off an i have 4 GiGs could be cuz ff is taking some ram then flash player some and then the plugin-container thing in ff takes some ram to this problem should be fixed asap

While I've never seen that kind of memory usage, 4 GB is a far cry from 32 GB. Unless the person was saying that FF would use all the ram it could until things just go poof and crash.

I also think the user needs to go back to school and learn about punctuation! The entire quote does not have a single pause and is one run on sentence!

Thoughts?
