Before I file a bugreport, would any reading this please check about:memory and see if you have these under "Explicit Allocations" / Images:

Almost 20 MB for each of the icons in the download menu seems excessive. I think they may be the three chunks identified by VMMap too. I tried to upload a screenshot but it never finished uploading. All my plugins are disabled. Is anyone else seeing this?

This time the image posted - see below

I noticed that whether I simply review today's downloads to "See all Downloads" at least 57 MB of Explicit Allocation memory is immediately allocated to the icons (76 MB when Seeing all downloads - with 4 icons showing in the memory report) and it is never released.

This looks like a bug - can anyone else confirm that they are seeing huge amounts of Explicit Allocation memory allocated to download icons?

If other people see it too I'll file a bug report. That's 10% of my explicit allocation memory for three little icons.
