Firefox does not have memory problems - it has a feature that is very memory intensive.
That's right, it's not a bug, it's a feature!

A new spell-checking feature has been added. Text entered in multiline text boxes is automatically checked for mistypes words, for single line text boxes, you must ask for it (right-click, Spell check this field). Words not found in the dictionary are marked with a red underline.

It's about time they incorperated a spell checker! Vary nice.

Thank god they're putting in an automated spell check for multi-line text boxes. This site should become that much more bearable to read now.
