Firefox and Garmin Import

The_Saint Jul 2012 8:44pm, 2 Jul 2012 5337 posts	0 The_Saint Before I uninstall etc I wondered if anyone else is finding that the Garmin import uses an incredible amount of RAM ( I mean 2 Gigabytes) and totally freezes the laptop for minutes. This is the behaviour with Firefox 13, IE9 just freaks out and won't do it and Chrome 20 says "No way". OS is Windows 7 64 Bit and I'm using the latest Garmin Communicator/Agent etc

DeeGee Jul 2012 1:37pm, 3 Jul 2012 12238 posts	0 DeeGee Where does it store the activities, sprouty? Windows 7 64 bit if it helps...
