Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
I start the application and the memory usage reported in system monitor
just keeps growing and growing and gradually slows the system down. As a
test I closed Firefox, killed the process then started it afresh.
initial mem usage was about 20MB and 2 mins later, it was about 50. This
is without doing any surfing or anything at all, not even clicking any
buttons, just letting it sit there with the homepage open which is set
to the speed dial plugin.
It's not a critical issue I understand but after an hour or so of
surfing mem usage is about 190MB, even if I close all tabs and return to
just speed dial. I don't have a particularly high specced system (5 year
old laptop) and it seems a bit excessive.
Thanks,
Glenn
