Firefox is a Memory Hog (150+mb)
It is the latest version. We have been monitoring via Task Mngr. We have win-8. Does anyone else experience this? Know of an easy fix?

I'm running 26.0 at work and it's using about 111 mb - 180 mb or so, but I expect that less than 200 mb is decent considering the addins I run.
I have IE 8 on this machine and currently it's using anywhere from 64 - 98 mb.
Question: are you concerned about your memory usage? Memory isn't static, it fluctuates as you open and close applications. Windows 7 and Windows 8 are both much better at memory management than the old operating systems.
To me 150 megabytes is nothing. I'm currently using 3.27 gigabytes of memory with a lot of things open and my computer is still functioning fine.
Unless you have a total of 2 gigabytes of physical memory you should be ok.
