It is more likely to be an effect of the operating system and not the browser itself as the effect occurs with different browsers.
You do not specify your operating system. I'll answer based on my knowledge of what happens with Linux (and I guess something similar happens under Windows):
Flash videos are not handled by the browser itself but a plug-in; under Linux that plug-in runs as a separate process to the actual browser itself - a child process of the browser. When the browser is closed it can take "a while" for it to kill off its child processes and so even though the browser is closed, it hasn't finished tidying up its children and they may still run. Also, there could be a delay in the operating system itself in killing off the child processes (possibly with the child in an uninterruptable state whilst it is doing some of the buffering).
Assuming the buffering eventually ceases, then it is a delay that is annoying, but shouldn't be doing any harm.
With Linux you can always kill the plug-in process directly without killing the browser; with Firefox it just considers its child to have crashed.
How do you get rid of the s at the end of http?
that just means the http protocol is secure by using a Secure Sockets Layer or a SSL. I can't think of a reason you'd want to get rid of the s but you can get rid of it by taking the URL and just deleting the s.
if it redirects you to a https site that means that they want to make sure that you use the https connection (with some sites like Google you can tell them to turn off the ssl for your account)
if you come up with a 404 error code and the page doesn't come up, that means the site doesn't have a regular http port open on their system and theirs nothing you can do about it.
sorry.
(if this if for your own site, i don't know how to do that)
How do you retrieve web browsing history?
Easy. Go to the start menu and click on help and support. A blue screen will appear. All you have to do then is a system restore to whatever date you want. Your computer will do a system restore and shut down and restart. Then, enjoy browsing history! Hope this helps. I used it to catch a cheating boyfriend.

Why does Internet Explorer take more than 200MB of memory?
The term "Explorer" can be reference in several ways, as the Windows operating system uses three individual types. 1. Internet Explorer - The obvious web browser 2. Windows Explorer - For listing the contents of the hard drive 3. Explorer - the actual GUI (Graphical User Interface) which provides the graphics and "point & click" functionality while running Windows
As 200mb seems an excessive amount for any program to be using, this very likely could be a result of a possible virus, spam or unnecessary programs running in the background.
Try this if you haven't yet done it.
There is a fantastic system utility, called Faber Toys. It's mainly developed for power users who want to know what programs are running in the background and the processes as well. It's very similar to clicking CTL-ALT-DEL on your system, but also informs you of what those programs are used for. You can download Faber Toys here: http:/wwwzperiodzfaberboxzperiodzcom/fabertoyszperiodzasp
After determining which programs are not needed, you can then prevent those from starting up automatically by unchecking them in MSCONFIG. MSCONFIG is a system configuration utility in Windows. 1. Go to (start),(run),(type msconfig), (start up tab). 2. Uncheck all programs that start from a fresh boot. 3. After making those changes you, must restart Windows. 4. Check to see if the explorer.exe memory usage is the same. If it seems back to normal after that, go back and check the programs you want running at start up one by one to see which program is guilty.
AnswerI doubt it is 200Mb, as that amount would surely overload most pcs. You may mean 200K, but never the less it is a large amount. Run a virus and spyware scan. Also try the disk cleanup utility as cookies and websites are stored onto your computer, eventually eating up a lot of space.
AnswerExplorer alone cannot take more than 200MB of memory, unless a version of Windows Explorer is corrupt. Or, you are using several Windows Explorer related components (like Internet Explorer) that take more than 200MB memory total. Check your Internet cache settings as well.
AnswerInternet Explorer may use a large amount of memory if you have many web pages open at once, or large pictures in the web pages.
Ask yourself:
Does it still use a large amount of memory after closing it, then reopening?
Does it still use a large amount of memory after rebooting the computer?
Solution:
1: Create restore point and take registry backup.
2: Delete all temp files.
3: Delete all unwanted software and security software using add and remove program.
4: Disable all unwanted services from the startup and then remove from registry.
5: Reset Internet Explorer, then register all .dll files.
6: Scan with spyware removal, hijackthis and trojon removal.
7: Check Windows Update, if updates are found, then download and install them.
8: Restart the computer, and then check it.
