User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0b13pre) Gecko/20110301 Firefox/4.0b13pre Build Identifier: While bug 631494 fixes most of the problem (the memory exploded to 1.5GiB for me easily), that doesn't fix entirely the problem. I'm using a new profile, with just ABP installed, and Fanboy and Easylist blockfilter lists. While surfing different sites (keeping facebook and tuenti (social network in Spain) pinned) but mostly with big images like boston.com photoblog, the memory grows until Firefox doesn't respond to user interaction for seconds to then release a small amount of memory and keeps responsive. A rough comparision is that my Firefox *without* ABP is using around 400-500MiB of RAM, while *with* ABP usually takes 700-800MiB, with spike of 900MiB that are released to the "normal" level of 700-800MiB. Reproducible: Always Maybe related to bug 6314924 or bug 637782
As can be seen in bug 672111, the new version of Adblock Plus 2.0.1 fixes various problems which can be though as leaks (even though they're sometimes recovered).
