Massive Memory Leak in FireFox
Ever Since firefox 3.5 came out I have had issues with massive memory leaks in it, The most I have seen is almost 2 GIGS! It will go from like 50mb to over 600 in less then 30 mins. does anyone know the cause of the leak yet? It also messes up my facebook chat as well. if i click on a different tab it will erase my chat history.
This happened
Every time Firefox opened
== FireFox 3.5

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions. You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
I turned off everything and it still is leaking, not at like mach 1 anymore, but a few mb every 10 mins or so.
