qmr Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 If you use a flash player (shoutcast) for a long length of time I noticed that the browser will crash, I have now set for a page refresh of say every 2 hours on my flash player, will this solve the trick of memory leak crashing the browser?

CyberFM Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Hi, We could give better advice if you indicated which browsers you tested this with. Each one has a different way of recycling memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qmr Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 Ah I've only tested this with Firefox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberFM Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Try: 1)Type about:config into the location bar and press enter 2)Right click any line to bring up a sub-menu 3)Choose “new”>”integer” 4)paste this into the dialogue that appears: browser.cache.memory.capacity 5)Next click Okay 6)Specify the amount in kb (about 60000 should do) in the next dialogue that appears 7)Restart Firefox and happy surfing. I've done this as my station uses a flash player. It's not really firefox that has the memory leak, but its ability to flush memory intensive apps like the Flash Plugin.
