I use Firefox (currently 3.6.8) as my preferred web browser and won’t use IE unless I have to. This week, I had to temporarily switch to IE after running into a Firefox / plugin memory leak. A little back history first. I give a PC games on Gaming Bee and I regularly hunt down new sources for video games.

Someone gave me an HP Pavilion dv6700 series laptop because they didn’t want to pay to have it repaired. It was a fairly nice laptop, Dual Core 2Ghz, 3GB RAM, 250GB hard disk, webcam and all. The problem they were having was that it would power on for about 3-5 seconds, then turn off on its own. They would have to remove the battery for about 30 minutes before they could try to turn it on again.
