User-Agent: Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8 We are running big brother to monitor our systems. I notice that firefox keeps taking more and more memory the longer I keep it on this site which refreshes often. If I open other copies of firefox to view other web pages the memory usage jumps and after I close those other browsers the memory is not recovered even a day later. The memory is just not given up. the browser does not crash but it now has ove 100 Mebabytes of memory used. The only way to recover is to use task maanger to kill the process as just closing the browser does not fre up the memory after about 5 minutes. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Expected Results: The amount of memory should be roughly the same as Internet Explorer. If I close a browser then the memory should be freed up.
