@Retired_Engineer -- closing Firefox (the entire program, not just a tab), should fix it...Firefox can't still hang on to memory if it's completely closed...sometimes Firefox won't close properly, so you'll have to hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete and go to the "Task Manager" and select the program and close it down that way...My favorite browser is Firefox, but they've had these issues with it eating up memory, and not completely closing, for many, many versions...it's pretty annoying.
@KingwoodDotCom: Â Thanks. Â I have been closing Firefox, but as you state, it must not be closing properly. Â In Window 8.1, I have added Task Manager to my Start bar along the bottom (we've gotten very familiar during these problems). Â Fortunately rebooting Windows 8.1 is really fast!I had noticed, even with previous versions of Firefox, that if I left Firefox open while I ate dinner or took a break, when I came back Firefox had often shutdown due to "errors".I loaded Chrome last night. It's OK, but I like Firefox better. Â I just hope Mozilla gets it fixed!
