WFM Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060421 Minefield/3.0a1.  No noticable increase in memory usage (in Activity Monitor) while the page is active.

I let it run for about 10 minutes and the memory usage never changed by more than 1MB total up or down. In fact, Firefox freed memory during the first few refreshes.

Have you checked the possibility of extensions misbehaving?

You are right - the main problem is with extension.
I will check which one is broken. After uninstall every extension (polski language pack, mplyer plugin and adblock - the newest versions) memory leak stoped.
Thx for suggestion, I will back to the topic after some more tests

best regards

actually not stopped - but the leak is very slow. I test it for about 7 hours
and the problem exists but not so big, I will wait if the firefox browser will crash or not.
Before I uninstalled extensions - the browser crashed after about 20 minutes of intensive refreshing the page I listed as an example. (in local network). Now it works 7 hours well, but memory slowly increase. Is it normal?

The problem is still valid for firefox 1.5.0.4 without extensions.
I tested mozilla 1.7.13 and I saw no memory leak problem.
Test firefox browser again in your local area network.
The problem is not big but it exists.

reporter, Do you still see this problem. If you do not, please close the bug with resolution WORKSFORME, INVALID, etc as may be appropriate to your situation (but not FIXED unless you know the bug with the patch). 

If you still see problem using a current version of Firefox or trunk build, please provide additional detail.
