Hello all,
I have updated my system to Fedora 13 i686 after release of F13, now when i download some thing with Firefox it eat up a lot of memory - about 800MB when downloading a 700 MB ISO file -
i have solved this by using wget instead of Firefox download manager.
Many users have this issue with different platforms and OS - see [1]-
I want to ask the fedora users before i fill a bug.
does anyone has this issue in F13 ?
Version of firefox: firefox-3.6.4-1.fc13.i686

My 'top' output line when doing ~700 MB iso file download: 21544 jb 20 0 447m 60m 25m S 5.3 8.1 2:14.42 firefox
Remember that this is the sum of all open FF windows/tabs. So make sure you understand what FF id doing before you file a bug. Also helpful: - ps aux |grep -i firefox - top then Ctl-M to sort output by memory use - stop download, close/re-open FF, resume download JB

I already do.
I thinks is a false positive because it happened only with one site
