User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; de; rv:1.8.1.12; .NET CLR 3.5.20404) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; de; rv:1.8.1.12; .NET CLR 3.5.20404) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12 This application uses javaview and a custom java application available as sources in http://www.menne-biomed.de/swallow/jswallow3d.txt. On each selected swallow, memory decreases. Manual garbage collection does not help. After 4-5 swallows loaded, system crashes, Firefox hangs in memory and must be removed from memory via task manager. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Occurs under 4 different Windows operating systems. Konrad Polthier, the author of javaview, has recommended to explicitely destroy memory, so a message is printed out on the console when the destructor is called. This did not change the results. Dieter Menne Actual Results: This works perfectly under IE, Safari and Opera, so I doubt it is a Java problem, as "timeless" claims. It worked under earlier versions of Firefox (1.x), and 2.0 , but not later version. It was reported two year ago already, but considered illegal. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305376
