Firefox memory leak
I find two problems in Mozilla Firefox very troublesome:
- Firefox has many memory leaks. After opening up multiple tabs and windows, and then slowly reducing them, the memory usage doesnt go down. At this point I have 7 taps open in one window, and the memory usage is 286MB, with 193MB currently in physical memory. This is ridiculous. Ofcourse other people have also found similar problems.
- It crashes some times. Though I have noticed that this 1.0 release is not crashing that much, but earlier ones were.
UPDATE: Finally this issue is getting widespread exposure in Information Week newspaper. Hopefully this would cause firefox to take notice.
