User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; de; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; de; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3 Firefox uses plenty of memory for displaying flash but doesn't ublock it once you leave the page. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open google.com 2. go to a site using flash, e.g. http://www.zdf.de/ZDFmediathek/hauptnavigation/startseite#/hauptnavigation/startseite 3. go back to google.com also if flash page is opened in a different tab and then closed. Actual Results: memory remains blocked. Once the blocked memory accumulates, Firefox freezes. I recorded the issue using Windows 7 PSR, but somehow I cannot figure out how to attach files here.

The memory is used by the plugin, not the browser. Are you sure you run the latest version of Flash ? (and this issue has been filed dozens of times before)

This bug is valid for 8.0a2, the plugin container process leaks 5MB of memory each time that site is opened and closed. Most probably it's a Flash bug. We can see if resolving bug 501485 will resolve also this.
Depends on: 501485
