Now I use tabbed browsing quite extensively and find that it saves a lot of memory AS LONG AS YOU DO NOT CLOSE ANY TABS. I regularly open 3 tabs which I keep open permanently. With these tabs open the mozilla.exe process consumes about 27, never more than 28 MB of memory. Now I open a web connection to an IBM Director which uses Java. Memory usage of mozilla.exe goes up to 58 MB. No problem while the page is open. After closing the tab again (and manually unloading Java Runtime) the usage of mozilla.exe does not go back down again. I checked regularly for about half an hour and the memory usage was still around 57 MB, which I think is not acceptable. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Mozilla Browser 2. Start XP Task Manager and watch mozilla.exe mem usage 3. Do memory intensive task in a new tab (like working on pages with java) 4. Watch mem usage of mozilla.exe again (will bei higher) 5. Close memory intensive tab 6. Watch mem usage of mozilla.exe again to see it has not substantially decreased. Actual Results: The mem usage of mozilla.exe was still as high as with the memory intensive tab open. Expected Results: Release the memory of the closed memory intensive tab.
