User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3 GTB6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3 GTB6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) Version 3.6.3. Appears to be a GDI leak on Windows. With daily use, eventually it will cause FireFox to run slowly followed by other applications encountering handle acqusition errors (for example, Quick displays inaccurate "out of memory" errors for dialogue window display creations). Case today: FireFox had 3,105 GDI objects with six tabs open. I havenot confirmed, but this _appears_ to be influenced by web sites that run significant amounts of JavaScipt (ala Facebook). Reproducible: Sometimes
Does this happen in Firefox safe mode, or better yet, a new profile? http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+mode

Reporter -> Are you still experiencing this issue? Have you tried safe mode or a new profile?
@Tyler. I do not know, and won't have the opportunity to work in Safe Mode (FF too intrinsic to daily work).
