User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1 Build ID: 20110928134238 Steps to reproduce: Repeatedly refresh page at http://politicalwire.com/. Actual results: If McAfee SiteAdvisor 3.4.0 is enabled, memory usage (as reported by Windows Task Manager) increases about 15 MB on average for each refresh. If SiteAdvisor is disabled, there is no average increase. In either case, each time the page is refreshed, the memory usage may go up or down. However, after refreshing 30 times it is apparent that the usage continues increasing beyond 800 MB with SiteAdvisor enabled, and never exceeds 280 MB without. Expected results: Memory usage should not continue to increase indefinitely with each refresh.
Since SiteAdvisor is going to be blocklisted in bug 690184, I think we can safely call this WONTFIX.
