Does this also happen if you use a recent trunk nightly build of Firefox? Trunk nightlies have several fixes for leak bugs that web sites frequently trigger.

Am using the version that was downloaded automatically on Friday. I'm new here - where do I find the "trunk nightlies?"

http://www.squarefree.com/burningedge/ is one place you can find trunk nightlies. I suggest downloading a zip build (rather than an installer build) so it's less likely to interfere with your use of Firefox 1.5.0.4.

(In reply to comment #3) I have downloaded Minefield 3.0a1 from BurningEdge and run for a day, and can now say that the memory leak is in there, also.

No leak with latest trunk for me. No abnormal memory usage. No leak alert with Leak Monitor Extension. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060609 Minefield/3.0a1 Did you try clean profile? Maybe some extension causes your problem.

This is a deceptive bug. You must leave the browser up some hours before memory starts to build with velocity. I've seen the memory used build all the way past 300,000k, after starting around 60,000k, with four open tabs. (At this time, I am uncertain about the coorelation with realmoney.com site.)
This may be a duplicate of bug 334322 (Flash player leaks memory) since many sites including this one have flash ads. Try with Flash player 9 beta (see the bug comments) that fixes this leak, or install Adblock plus and block all Flash ads using a "*.swf*" filter.

This problem has resolved itself, magically. I can no longer duplicate it.
