After there get a lot of mem problems fixed in FF over the last months, FF use in general less mem then before! IMHO try to fix more mem-probs/-leaks should bring in general more and then you can forget get overhead. (* My experiences with monitoring the FF mem over the last ~2.5years.) _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
