When Everything Slows Down

Sometimes your PC works too slow? And sometimes Audacity crashes or doesn't save properly? The culprit may be your web browser. When left open for a while, Firefox tends to occupy more and more of your computer's RAM. And sometimes when you close it it keeps running invisibly in background without your being able to re-open it. The best way to deal with this bug is to 1) close Firefox, and 2) use Control-alt-delete to choose Task Manager and then go to the Processes tab. If you scan down the list of processes, you may well see firefox.exe still showing hundreds of thousands of K of RAM. Highlight firefox.exe and click the Stop Process button. Ignore the warning and choose Yes. That will make your computer go much faster and may save you from losing your audio editing work.
