Or something like that. Flushes FireFox's accumulative into the virtual file, which slowly but surely is then reclaimed and paged back into physical memory;- automating the process at set intervals eventually reaches a lower timed limit parameter that generates a system virtual memory error. FireFox thingy, I guess w/ my non-updated version (being sorta hung on extension compatibility issues is a drag);- various restart/"save state and restore" extensions used to solve the problem, except for some more sophisticated actively linked sites (scripts and cookies) that won't restore but default from any existing complexity, such as conditioned parameters on charts from market quotes. Weird how memory conditions accumulate with FireFox, too, how long it takes to push itself into a hairball memory condition negatively affecting the overall OS state. ...Nor just for how long, I'd also suspect what it's doing, how much activity and manipulates, and where on the web they're being done.

Best thing going regardless w/ Cool Iris, even though kludgy as hell. Next step would be scalable tab/windows for dynamically sizing a whole webpage for a 32" monitor I've had for 3-4 years; noway I'd go down if it needed replacing. Oh, well...hope's free, too, last I checked.
