About caching - I leave my browser for the night, i.e. I do not visit new pages, so whatever the caching was, it should remain the same, still, Seamonkey/Mozilla/Firefox consume more memory then when I left it. What does caching have to do with this ? Anyway, the URL says: "No more than 8 pages are ever cached in this fashion, by default", and I'm using the default, which means that after 8 pages have been cached, there will be no more chached, that it, old pages will be thrown away from cache if more than 8 pages have been vivsited, so memory usage shouldn't be increasing after caching 8 pages. As I wrote, memory usage is all the time increasing, even if I do not visit new pages at all. What else to understand ? --Sergei.
