Could you please address excessive memory that is not released when tabs are closed in the browser. [/quote]

Hallo,

Unused memory is idle memory. Minimize the browser, that releases the reserved memory for the user that You intend to start in a second. The browser is made to gobble up unused memory because that makes it work faster. I doubt that You would want to generally change that. :)

Plus memory management is a feature/job of Your OS not of Your browser. Really, it is Your OS that should despoil the browser of surplus  horded memory for a newly started RAM hungry application. :)

To cover siria's [b]Hmm[/b]ing in more detail. :D

The extension Adblock_plus has a bug that prevents release of memory until the browser is shut down. PPL call that a leak - AFAIK it starts to slow the browser after a while. Un-install the extension if You are using it or restart browser every once in a while if You want to use it in spite of the problem. Maybe after every half an hour.

For more info about the [url=http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/forum/read.php?9,107876]Adblock extension problems and possible workarounds for the leak problem visit this thread in K-Meleon extensions[/url].

& greetings to the US, hope You could understand my my language with its distinct German drawl :D

p.s. Extensions are independent projects. [url=http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/forum/list.php?9]Generally K-Meleon extension problems are discussed in the extensions forum[/url]. That is not the same as the [url=https://adblockplus.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=1]Adblock Forum, which has it own independent forum[/url].[/quote]
