I set

browser.cache.memory.capacity = 16384

and thought I was done. So WHY is Firefox taking even more than that???

about:cache

Memory cache device

Number of entries:  604
Maximum storage size:  16384 KiB
Storage in use:  39828 KiB
Inactive storage:  0 KiB

I’m sure this has been happening for quite some time, but I
only just noticed thanks to the “Cache Status” Extension.

I love you Firefox, but sometimes you piss me off

EDIT: 6/30/06
Seems that this is a windoze problem only. On my Linux laptop and desktop,
the mem cache in use is holding steady at “15.9MB / 16MB”.

Stupid windoze
[the only reason i am using it currently is for the VPN client that I need to
get my office network. They do have a linux client but it doesnt work with
2.6 kernels]
