I am not being clear? it is a Firefox process Firefox. exe And thanks for the advise about clean memory, I used to use it but it doesn't help. cor-el Top 10 Contributor Moderator. cor-el said You can check the about:memory page for the Firefox memory usage and possible click the button to minimize memory usage.

Today I wanted to show you the 10GB even though I disabled the add-on, but the moment I disable the download helper add-on the 10GB memory went down to MB you were right, it is something about Firefox and this add-on maybe.
