Hello! We ran our web demo through QA and are having a hard time properly replicating and resolving the below issue. Hoping for any guidance or suggestions. Thanks!
In FireFox, on one specific computer, we’re frequently encountering this error:
Specs are: 3.40GHz, 4-core, AMD Phenom II X4 965 Processor. 4GB DDR3 1333 RAM. AMD Radeon HD 6450 1.0GB DDR3 Video card.
We currently have memory allocation set to 256MB. We have run tests on multiple machines and found that the demo does not use more than 105MB of that allocation in Firefox. We have not been able to replicate the error.
Do we need to allocate more memory? Less memory? Ignore the error as a computer-specific issue?
That error means the browser couldn’t allocate your requested 256mb. If your app only needs 105, you should probably lower your memory requirements. The ideal amount is the lowest value that never triggers the “Out of memory” error (though you should leave a buffer, of course, for differing browsers and such)
As the end-user, they can work around that error if they’re on a 64 bit OS by switching to a 64 bit browser.
That is insanely helpful. Thank you so much… we were thinking we had to raise it, and couldn’t understand why that would be.
One follow up question: if the max we’re seeing is 105, would lowering it to 128 be too low? Is there data available on the maximum that 32 bit Firefox can handle? I get that it’ll never be flawless.
