You haven't been to my cousin Vinny's chop shop!

well I havent posted on slashdot since about 1999, my first account from 1996 is long gone. I just spent the last 10 year lurking.

well this can happen on a machine with no plugins and just left sitting at the gmail page.... gets worse with visits to youtube and such. Now I have 3 PCs, two with XP one with Windows 7, it happens on one XP and the Windows 7 box, one XP machine is just fine. And yes I do run add-ons and such, the same on each machine, but ive tested on clean re-installs and it does it. A bit of googling you find other with the same problem.... its not everyone out there.....but its still not enough to drive me away from Firefox, its not much of a pain to restart every few hours.

Having to restart every few hours as the memory footprint creeps up to 1GB in size....I would gladly take improvements in memory leaks over speed increases in javascript rendering.
