    Firefox seems to be consuming almost of all of your memory, do you use any extensions/add-ons in Firefox? Try using IE, and then post the same screenshot.

    Add-ons aren’t intrinsically leaky, but the memory team identified dozens of add-ons that were causing huge memory leaks and made significant process improving the experience for Firefox users.

    Here's a little info about some the improvements on memory leaks.

    To find out if it's a Java/Firefox issue, you could uninstall all instances of Java in Control Panel> Programs and Features. If that doesn't fix it, you can always reinstall Java.
    After deleting Java: 1.61GB
    I suppose I should reinstall it? lol

    It might be the Java Plug-Ins for Firefox........I would try disabling them first.

    The screenshot of the RAM shows me with Firefox open, closing it, starting up IE, then closing it after a while and going back on Firefox.

    The other one is my extensions on Firefox. I deleted a couple of useless ones before the screenshot, and checked the RAM usage again, but it didn't seem to change anything.

    It has apparently been disabled the whole time. :/
    I posted a screenshot of my extensions and you can see that it is disabled.

    EDIT: Nvm, I just saw the plugins.. I will disable it now and see what it does... or should I just post a screenshot of all the plugins and let you experts see what could possibly be wrong?

    Scan for any malware:

    Do you really need to be running Google Update, Windows Live Photo Gallery and even Java? Many plug-ins and websites do not require Java anymore, it's best to check if the plug-ins, websites or programs you use, require Java, especially with the numerous Java and Adobe Reader security exploits which have occurred.

    How to Disable Java:

    If you only need it for desktop programs, then disable it within your browser.

    Disable the Java Plug-In, and give it a reboot. See what the RAM usage is then.

    I have disabled Java on my browsers and it didn't seem to affect the RAM.. Neither did disabling the other useless plugins.

    I will scan for malware later. I need to work. I will be back in not too long. Thanks for your help so far!
