I am a VC++ developer so I am more concerned about the application"s memory and resource problem. I just made a simply test for Google Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer, the result shows some interesting data.

Testing Environment

OS: Windows Vista Enterprise

Memory: 4 GB

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600

Browser: Google Chrome 1.0.154.48, Firefox 3.0, Internet Explorer 7.0

The testing report

  1. I started Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer, they didn't open any web pages at that time. The GDI object and number and memory size of the browsers:

    BrowserGDI Object   Memory (KB)  
    Firefox 68
     
    		 16860
     
    Google Chrome 78
     
    		 29708
     
    Internet Explorer 342
     
    		 18774
     
  2. I open 45 same web pages in each browser, when all documents are completely loaded and initialized:
    3. BrowserGDI Object   Memory (KB)  
    Firefox 680
     
    		 67778
     
    Google Chrome 212
     
    		 56744
     
    Internet Explorer 2155
     
    		 336032
     
  3. Then I closed all documents and keep each browser is idle:
    4. BrowserGDI Object   Memory (KB)  
    Firefox 319
     
    		 52228
     
    Google Chrome 75
     
    		 35416
     
    Internet Explorer 642
     
    		 141236

I have a very different figure for Firefox. It seems certain people I know have this problem but not the majority.

Currently Firefox is consuming 552,932K of memory. With the exact same windows open my friends report it having around 128,000K... Their's goes up to 140,000K tops and mine peaks at 856,000K... Simply way to big! Almost a gig of memory!

I submit bug reports and so do my friends... This has been happening since 1.0... Here we are at 3.x and still nothing...
