dupe of bug 223476 or bug 193236?

Comment 3

Steve:

I'm not sure.  The first relates to Firefox (but could be easily expanded), and
the second involves the window itself and apparently has nothing to do with
general browsing.  If anything, dupe to bug 223476 and expand it to both Firefox
and the suite.

Comment 4

[Michael Gabriel]

the firefox bug was my first aim, but since my reply from like half a year ago
produced no result, i created a new bug for the suite.

[Michael Gabriel]

WOW !!!
another massive problem, beside the slowdown, this creates a massive memory usage.
start mozilla with google as homepage and NO history file -> mem usage 23megs
real 14 megs virtual
start mozilla with google as homepage and 30meg history file -> mem usage 65megs
real 54 megs virtual !!!

35 meg history file -> 69 + 60 megs = 129 megs startup ram usage

Comment 7

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

duping to 193236 - future comments should go there.

bug 223476 could probably also just be duped, but leaving that for someone else due to its mess of dependencies
