Based on the information we have, which is imperfect to be sure, we believe this is caused by a Firefox bug, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=638075
The short version is that Firebug is monitoring net traffic because this net traffic comes before we know if you want to use it in debugging or not. Once we look at the traffic we cannot stop accumulating data because of the Firefox bug. The common case where people see this is to have firebug installed in a browser that they also use to access large resources like video. You can run two copies of Firefox using -no-remote and in one copy have a profile with only debug tools. In that copy you don't watch videos and in the other copy you don't install Firebug. jjb On May 2, 8:53 am, ctecha <[email protected]> wrote: > Firebug is the best tool in Firefox but it keeps eating up gigs of > memory on my computer.
