Cristy,
It's most likely caused by a Firefox memory leak that has been a known
issue throughout nearly all of the 2.x version. The soon to be released
version 3.0 does not include this little bug. It doesn't cause any serious
problems under normal operation. But if you're experiencing an overall
slowdown of your system, you should consider increasing the amount of RAM in
your system. I'm running 2GB of DDR and I'm able to have over 100 tabs
going at a time without any issues. This is very important to me since I am
usually researching several subjects for different folks and need to have
quick access to each page I choose to leave open. For instance, I am
currently looking for mainboards for two different people (one for Intel &
one for AMD CPUs). Each 'set' requires at least 20 tabs each as I compare
different chipsets, RAM requirements, available slots, back panel port
offerings, prices, BIOS options, etc.. :O)
Peace,
G
