This is good to hear Honza. I very much appreciate that my somewhat venting emotive post wasn't shot down as trolling or something similar.
At the risk of labouring the point, what I didn't mention is the frequent apparently good news that comes from the Mozilla Community, like this: http://blog.mozilla.com/blog/2011/12/20/major-javascript-enhancements-make-firefox-speedy-up-to-30-faster/ I want to revel in this great work however as someone who has had Firebug almost permanently installed since the early days, I pretty much do not seem to see a great deal of performance gain no matter how much hard work the Mozilla Community puts in. Just some of the milestones that seem to have gone by without a big impact on Firebug users were: TraceMonkey Hardware Acceleration The post-Fx4 MemShrink GC fix and now Type Inference The GC fix really did work however I still get all-too-frequent but erratic memory leaks that grow and grow even when the browser is just idle. Now MemShrink has delivered another big improvement: adaptive memory management on Windows. I guess it's unfair of me to suggest that each and every one of these major Firefox improvements has been neutralized by Firebug but sometimes it does feel like that. Ok, I guess I've made my point. Keep up the great work team, I really hope this problem can be knocked on the head and Firebug will then move forward in leaps and bounds hopefully! pd On Dec 21, 6:58 pm, Jan Honza Odvarko <[email protected]> wrote: > On Tuesday, December 20, 2011 11:18:48 AM UTC+1, pd wrote: > > > Just fix this problem! > > We are aware of the memory consumption problem and hardworking on it. > It's top priority for the Firebug team. > > If anyone wants to provide a help then having a precise/detailed steps to > reproduce it would be the way to go. > > Honza -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
