The Chrome developers have said before that the way windows task manager reads how much RAM Chrome uses is almost always wrong. they showed a way to read the actual amount but I am too lazy to look for it.
Also Chrome also has native support for Greasemonkey ;)
Chrome For the win
Also isn't FF x64 like not officially Mozilla made and all, just some people made it x64 compatible?

There's a number of "memory" values - I don't use Task Manager so unsure what's exactly there.
I wouldn't quite agree with them so quickly though, but they could have some merit to what they say.

It's just a 64-bit compile (unsure if patches are used). Mozilla doesn't officially do Windows x64 compiles I believe (probably does do Linux x64 compiles). I think they're moving towards 64 bit Windows compiles though.
Many people stick to 32-bit anyway, since there's no 64-bit Flash.

RE: Return of BloatFox
You could set how much RAM FF uses by typing about:config in the address box then looking for something about cache...I don't remember the exact setting. If I find it I'll post back. The only problem with thus process is that FF will probably load a little slower.

^ to be honest I don't think I want to. By the way that's not "native" if its not out of the box.
Chrome is only installed for Miku Hatsunes theme. :/

Ok then. that's your choice and I respect that.
I also don't like the UI of FF.Chrome seems more comfortable for me.

Tits desu. n.n
Anyways, you should try that program I posted...Pretty handy and it should in your current situation. Or you could reinstall FF.
