Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

Testcase: a page:
<html>
<a href="Titan IV.mpg">Titan IV.mpg</a>
</html>
and a file "Titan IV.mpg" in the same directory (size: 2318887 bytes).
Open the page. Right-click on link, choose "Save Link As..." and save file
to any directory. Repeat. Watch firefox heap size skyrocket with each download.

I am using this script in Linux:
pmap <pid of firefox-bin> | grep "^[0-9a-f][0-9a-f]* " | sort -r -t " " -k2,999
| head -20

The top line looks like this: "0898a000    29740K rwxp [heap]"
and its size increases as follows:
right-click on link: no change
pressing on "save link as...": +300k
pressing "ok": +200k
pressing "ok" in "ok to replace" dialog: +2500k or more

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I don't know if you are doing the right thing but please test again with a
recent trunk build. FF1.0.3 is just to old to report bugs.

I encoutered this problem too. It causes Firefox to hang up after about 30 to 
50 downloads via "Save Link as...". Very annoying :)
