Adding Lightning to your UA string. Causes quite a few problems. Metal Lion latest SeaMonkey & Thunderbird Themes - Sea Monkey and Silver Sea Monkey
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke (attrib.) Thanks for the tip, but a friend is using SM without Lightning and she's having the same problem on her Macbook (beachball, memory hog). But I will disable it anyhow since I can't recall having this extension installed.
Thanks frg. As noted, I have all plug-ins disabled and even moved them out of the two /Library/Internet Plugins folders. Hence these are not the cause. Extensions used are: Lightning, Show/Go Parent Folder, and JavaScript Debugger. Lightning has been ruled out, too, since my friend has the same problems without this extension. Next, I'll remove mentioned extensions except the default DOM Inspector and check if things improve. As to ad scripts etc., how should they add to bloat other than temporary and in disk cache while at that particular website? Does SM not purge all temporary in-memory data loaded from the previous site when moving from website A to website B to avoid ever increasing memory bloat? Could hardly imagine this. My webappsstore.sqlite is only between 1.7 to 4.5MB in size. Yet, if SM becomes very slow after approx. 3 days of use and I delete webappsstore.sqlite plus restart SM, performance is back to normal again. So how should adware contribute to this extreme memory footprint and poor performance in my case? Besides, I use a huge hosts file to block many ad domains and trackers.

So, you should eliminate that extension. Because it's likely to cause some issues ... ![]() Cheers!! ![]() How to Ask Questions The Smart Way - How to Report Bugs Effectively

Despite removing all extensions and add-ons, memory consumption grows to 2.3+ GB after a few days and the beachball lag rears its ugly head.
Do you leave SM running for days on end? Surely you do not browse 24 hours a day, so why leave it running? It works better if you close it when not using it. Clearing out private information on shutdown helps also.
