Wondering if you guys can help out on a random comp problem I'm having :-)

My programs are consuming way more disk space than they should be!
I've just installed, uninstalled, then reinstalled the latest versions of Thunderbird, and Mozilla. Thunderbird, for example, should be using 24mb. It is instead using over 1600mb :mellow:

What could cause this?

Also, task manger shows Mozilla 3.0 as using 51mb of system resources, even when displaying a blank page. When displaying MW it's around the 90mb mark.
I have run two spyware cleaners and full Avast anti-virus clean. Registry was just defragged. Any suggestions or advice appreciated! :thumbup:

weird, my FF with 4 tabs is only ~50MB, try using spybot and ccleaner..
and if after that nothing seemed to have happened try uninstalling them both again,
and delete the folders manually too, other then then i really wouldn't have a clue,

my firefox 3.0 is also using close to 90MB of RAM after a day of browsing.
Thunderbird is a mail client, the disk space may have something to do with ur mail inbox.
