121345 - Memory not freed when browser is closed with quick-launch enabled

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 106434

(Core Graveyard :: QuickLaunch (AKA turbo mode), defect)

Description

[Vineet Sinha]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.4)
Gecko/20011019 Netscape6/6.2
BuildID:    

When quick-launch is enabled, the memory usage of the minimized browser is lower
than when the browser is closed.

- tried with NS6.2 and Mozilla 0.9.7
- tried on Win2K

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
0. Enable quick-launch!
1. Start Moz., and then use TaskManager to note memory usage.
2. Minimize Moz. and note memory usage.
3. Restore Moz., then close it and note memory usage.


Actual Results:  Value from 2. is lesser than 3.

Expected Results:  3. should be lesser than 2.

My guess is that some memory clean-up happens when moz. is minimized (I would
guess some form of a garbage-collector). This memory clean-up does not happen
when moz. is closed.
