Firefox Google toolbar : uninstall now

I noticed that Firefox takes more than 100MB from my memory, I thought it would cache something and I didn’t get that much thought, specially when it very clever to adjust the cache based on my memory. But yesterday it took 170MB from my notebook 256MB, this huge!!

Today I chatted with Abdullah about Firefox memory consumption, and he said it is normal on his machine, Strange! I restarted Firefox on Safemode to see if anything in my settings or extension are wrong. Yeppy! Firefox back to normal in 20MB range.

I deleted my extension one after another until I found out that the problem was with Google toolbar extension, as soon as I disabled it Firefox is using regualr amount of memory, what are they doing with the extra 100MB!!! any how I decided to remove it, the only feature I needed is the spell checker and no spell checker worth 100MB.

Note to self: remove google toolbar from all machines.
