It appears a common occurance when I have several firebird windows open and at
least one of those windows has several tabs open. After 3-4 hours my CPU usage
on mozil..,exe is 60-95% and the Mem usage can be 100Mb to 200Mb.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a browser, open new tabs by right mouse clicking on links in current window
2.Open several other windows
3.Let it sit there for a few hours

Actual Results:  
Memory consumed and CPU consumed as appears in task manager. Slows the machine
down. Does not crash though

Expected Results:  
Should not be consuming CPU or memory

Please test something like a recent Firebird build (eg 0.7).

Very old build. I don't see this with a current build.
