    Nothing in any of those images suggests a memory leak.

    A memory leak occurs when a program refuses to give up its memory resources when done using them and instead, it keeps grabbing more and more until eventually, they are maxed out at 100% utilization.

    Belarc would not show that even if it was happening.

    Task Manager might.

    I wasn't having a problem with firefox a couple of days ago so I don't know what could be the problem??

    Do you have FF set to update automatically and if so was there a recent update? ie in last couple of days?

    Yes Firefox is set to automatically update, though, I have no idea if it did or not?? I don't believe Firefox did an update I think this problem started before, it did do a update after this problem started though I know that for sure!!

    While restarting I got the following from Dell Support Assist:

    Product Name: Inspiron 5758
    System Bios: A14
    Service Tag: 9ZTHT32
    ePSA: Build 4302.10 Veri ROM

    Alert, you have attached an undersized 35W power adapter to your system, which is less then the recommended 45W power adapter. To continue operating at peak performance, your system may also draw power from the battery. The battery charges only when the power provided by the adapter is greater than the needs of your system. Use a DELL 45W (or greater) power adapter to enable charging peak system performance.

    Note - This warning can be disabled in BIOS support

    I checked my laptop and I'm already running an 45W adapter????

    It would be best to contact Dell.
