Status: RESOLVED INVALID

Description

[Bryan]

Hi,
When using the latest 1.7 nightly build from the 1.7 branch for windows the 
browser uses up alot of memory that eventually crashes it.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.9) Gecko/20050630 is the 
build.
How to reproduce:
1. download that build from the nightly directory 
2. browser with it for a minute or two
3. see it use alot of memory

What the browser should of done: 
Not use alot of memory. 


It happens all of the time when I use it.

This is a regression?

I am using windows 2000.

This is a vague bug about an old version.  Invalid.  Please don't reopen this bug; file new bugs if you have information about actual leaks or memory issues (preferrably in a newer version).
