[iBook] Why????

[/ dave /]

Often, after a couple of days of very intensive Firefox use (anywhere 
from 6 to 30 web pages open in tabs at once, quite a few Firefox 
extensions running, etc.) along with ongoing Thunderbird use for mail, 
and sporadic use of other programs like Photoshop, GarageSale, Word, 
Preview, Excel, etc., it will take as long as 4 or 5 minutes for Firefox 
to close when I want to do a restart or tidy things up. I suspect this 
is partly to do with the fact that I only have 684MB of RAM.

As far as I can remember, Firefox has never "not closed" as with your 
Powerpoint problem, though once in a great while it will just crash 
rather than finish what it's been trying to do for the last 4 minutes.
