After some minutes (~90) of listening to that flash live stream my system was beginning to slow down so i took a look in the task manager and saw, that FF used 400MB RAM plus 400MB virtual RAM and I only had two tabs opened. So I restarted reopened and restarted the live stream and monitored the RAM usage, which slightly increase from the beginning.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start FF
2. Start Live Stream
3. Watch Task Manager

You can start that live stream in the upper right Menu "Jump hören"

Could this be a duplicate of

see also bug 354087 (depending on bug 342810). Dup?

This bug cannot be a duplicate of bug 342810, since bug 342810 is only on the trunk and not on the branch, while this bug is reported on the branch (2.0.0.2)

Can someone list a new set of steps to reproduce?  (because "Jump hören" is no longer in the upper right Menu) and test using a trunk build?

(strictly for reference, bug 375912 and bug 358586 are also reported against 1.8. might also be visible on 1.7 but I doubt they were tested there)

This is correct. However, it is still possible for bug 342810 to have fixed this testcase for trunk. For example in Bug 289198 comment 27 (a 1.7 branch bug) I write it's testcase works on trunk now that bug 342810 is fixed.

if fixed by new beta flash mentioned in bug 341380 then this can be duped to bug 341380.  (the page does have wmode opaque)

otherwise, test against the trunk build to see if fixed by bug 342810.

and something might need to be done with bug 289198 dependency.

per reporter "They changed from flash livestream to Winamp/Mediaplayer", so there is no testcase

Closing incomplete. Note, bug was never confirmed.
