I confirm this but it is not only Fedora related. It looks like general Firefox bug. I tested it under openSUSE 10.2 with Firefox 2.0.0.5 and after few minutes Firefox memory usage increased from 70MB to 500MB.
I confirm this but does not know how to debug it. Can somebody give a hint?
Firefox 3 which is in rawhide now has fixed many leaks. Can someone see if this is fixed there?
At this point, we're going to only be taking security fixes and major stability fixes into this release of Fedora. However, we still want to ensure the bug is fixed in the next version. We'd appreciate if you could test Firefox 3, available at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html or now shipping as the default in Fedora rawhide and provide feedback as to whether it still exists so we can file a ticket upstream to try to fix it in Firefox 3 before it is released.
