When browsing windows came up with virtual memery to low this has been the forth time this has happened when browsing pages with HIGH image sizes (between 10 - 20 IMG's at 500 kb to 1.2 mb) I checked Windows task manager and it told me that the PF size usage was 1.56 GB a bit high. When restarted firefox it went back down to 336 MB I'm thinking its not releceing the VM

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. View High Images 10 to 20 at a time at 500kb or higher
2. keep veiwing and wait

Actual Results:  
Windows cames up with virtual memery to low

Expected Results:  
I souldnt have doen it

Using noia 2.0 theme tested with and with out it same resalts

I was on ebay looking through computer parts and books, I went to some "off ebays servers" to view some detaled images when this happened. I was using TAB browsing to make it easyer to look I was using about 8-15 tabs. Um the other time I cant remember where I was, I thought it was a fluk(things happen LOL).

Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox 2? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!
