Summary: Major memory leak at aircanada.com → Major memory leak and 100 % CPU at aircanada.com
Using a smoketest build from last night, I see the problem happening in Linux too: 95% CPU, and the VMSize increases by about 50MB *per second* on my Athlon-64 3500+ with 2 gigs of physical memory. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b5pre) Gecko/2008032523 Minefield/3.0b5pre - Build ID: 2008032523
BTW, I'm using the default (unhacked) "Minefield" UA, and aircanada.com still treated me exactly as described.
confirmed using str from comment #0 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9b5pre) Gecko/2008032609 Minefield/3.0b5pre ID:2008032609 [not sure which component]

Attached file reduced testcase
It doesn't always crash on 2008032605, sometimes it just goes from 50MB to ~600MB and then it drops and is responsive again.

Happened to me. >600MB of RAM usage, 100% CPU and then it stabilized after a while back to normal and 45MB or RAM
Bug confirmed also on: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; pl; rv:1.9b4) Gecko/2008030714 Firefox/3.0b4 In few seconds RAM usage growin' up to ~600 MB and firefox.exe use two CPU cores at 100%. After 6-8 seconds, memory and CPU usage goes down to normal value.
Leak Gauge (http://wiki.mozilla.org/QA:Home_Page:Firefox_3.0_TestPlan:Leaks:LeakTesting-How-To)shows no Memory Leak here , but i also can reproduce the high cpu load.
I can repo the run-away memory, in the statusbar I saw 'Waiting for s0.bluestreak.com Consumed 99% of memory, if you waint long enough the page will show 'Done' and memory is released. CPU is 100% and on Vista goes Not Responding several times before it either loads the ad, or times out. In the View Page info for bluestreak I find: https://s0.bluestreak.com/ix.e?bb&t=21038 a 1px x 1px image (web-bug?) Didn't we something similiar with a ad supplier doing this very thing recently? Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008032705 Minefield/3.0pre Firefox/3.0 ID:2008032705 <-Todays Nightly Vista HP SP1
