When any flash played in the page there is a huge memory leak. If I use several tabs to browse the memory used by Firefox is continuosly growing even  to 500-600M! Finally the Firefox not respond.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any page where a flash animation is used.
2. See the memory used by Firefox


Actual Results:  
The memory used by Firefox continuosly growing even  to 500-600M! Finally the Firefox not respond.

Expected Results:  
The memory used by Firefox is not growing when a page fully downloaded.

I haven't probed, but there is possibile to occur a buffer / memory overrun?
