I am running 0.9.2 with the Noia (2.0) Extreme skin on Windows XP Professional
Service Pack 1. I definitely am seeing a memory leak.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open browser.
2. Create a couple windows with several tabs in each
3. Browse in each tab.
4. Watch memory used climb in the task manager.
Actual Results:
Memory used by Firefox.exe continues to climb.
Expected Results:
Memory used should stay static when viewed in Task Manager.
The fact that the browser uses memory when you load a page does not mean it
necessarily has a leak.

It grabs memory even when I am not viewing pages. Please explain why that is.

it's caching pages and images in memory cache, type about:cache in location bar.

It appears that the browser reserves a large amount of memory (50 MB) then
slowly uses up to a limit based on what you have previously viewed. Overnight it
appeared to stabilize at about 40 MB.
