But when I close the tab down, look at the memory still used: http://www.student.ru.nl/svandegeijn/foutje2.jpg Allmost 260MB... While the tab has been closed down! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build a script that keeps on looping, thus generating a huge page 2. Close down the tab it was opened in 3. Resourses are not freed at all! Actual Results: Same, Mozilla kept using memory Expected Results: Free the unneeded memory

0.9.2 is outdated. The bug writing guidelines say "be sure that you've reproduced your bug using a build released within the past three days." Can you please retest iwth a nighlty branch build and see if it also occurs there? ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-0.9/

More importantly, saying memory leaks after closing a tab isn't very helpful. It could be related to any number of issues (page specific, non-page specific, etc), and http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?keywords_type=allwords&keywords=mlk&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&chfieldto=Now is a list of currently open memory leak bugs. What the script specifically did could be a help to either duplicating to another known bug, or making this a report that developers can use.
This also happens when you open empty tabs... keep opning them, close them, open some more, close them ... you eat up ALL memory with this method. This happens with Mozilla AND Firefox. Just keep holding CTRL+T... I tested it with the lasted Moz (1.8.3a) and the latest Firefox (0.9.3).
