Listen, new guy, a word of advice: don't be so quick to jump to a corporate giant's defense here on Slashdot. You'll thank me later. Just toss out a "lame" and be done with it.

That's the typical response to people posting (legitimate) issues they've experienced with Firefox. "Oh, it's just you" ...which is as anecdotal as the OP

So let me get this straight: you are saying that since you haven't experienced memory problems with Firefox (I guess you and your computer are the gold standard or something), it is rightful to conclude that anyone who experiences memory problems with Firefox is "doing something wrong"

One day he went out for a drive, and when he got to his block, he couldn't recognize his own house. So he decided to just keep driving around the block, over and over. More than an hour elapsed before one of his family members spotted the car out the front window and went outside and flagged him down.

It wasn't the first time seemingly simple things/memories just completely escaped him

I am more familiar with OPP, which I am down with BTW
