This issue has also been confirmed to occur with FF25 Tested by Colin on FF21 - and issue does not occur - so something in FF24/25 (and possibly 22/23 but these are not available so cannot test). Can you please follow steps from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1044010#c11 ? Thanks! Please also try to set "javascript.options.baselinejit.content" to false in about:config. Hi Martin, I measured the memory consumption of Firefox 24 from the erratum [1] and it still takes a lot more RAM than upstream Firefox 26 [2] -> 1,513.50 MB vs. 507.42 MB. Here's my testflow: For one hour I opened two tabs, each with different RHEV-M 3.3 instance and during the time I just clicked here and there to avoid to be automatically logged out. A clean separate profile was used for each browser. No safe mode. Client machine: updated RHEL 6.5 x86_64 (Xvfb, Openbox WM, x11vnc) I left the defaults in about:config : javascript.options.baselinejit.chrome: false javascript.options.baselinejit.content: false javascript.options.jit_hardening: true Outputs of about:memory are attached. Let me know if you want access to the testing machine, I'll provide.

Thanks for the feedback. This bug is about Fedora packages (Friefox 26 we ship in Fedora). If you have a problem with RHEL, please file a new bug for it. Thanks! Anyway, I'm unable to reproduce it on Fedora 19/x86_64 and official Fedora build (firefox-26.0-2.fc19.x86_64), with baseline jit enabled. It takes ~700MB. Maybe a different RHEV instance behaves differently or it's an issue under VM/vnc session. Please also test it safe-mode (firefox -safe-mode). It may be caused by some installed add-ons. I see a lot of orphan nodes in DOM consuming the most of memory. This usually points to webapp bug. The safe mode is worth of try definitely.

Firefox 27 has been already released for Fedora and it handles the image better, so closing. Yes, the latest Firefox package shows the same problem but it's not so visible because the memory is maintained better. Should be fixed now by the Firefox 31 update. |
