Description of problem: When firefox open page with lots of downloadbable content it eats way toooooo much memory. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-2.0.0.10-5.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start empty firefox - check with top virt memory usage. 2. Open http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/x86_64/os/Packages/ 3. See how the memory dissapears in firefox - aroung ~90M BTW - galeon also eats a lot of memory for this task - but at least its more then 2.5 times faster. Actual results: Expected results: Maybe a bit more reasonable amount of memory consumed for display this amount of lines and especialy faster (at least galeons shows it's possible). Additional info:
Please report this bug at bugzilla.mozilla.org, Thanks.
