Can someone else try this and see if they get the same problem.

Goto coastalwatch.com.au, and check out a surfcam somewhere

Then have a look at your firefox memory usage

can't seem to replicate it in firefox 3

also

works fine in ie7, as does everything

Only went up about 30Mb for me. Wouldn't say that was too bad for firefox.

f*** you and your ie7, bitch

Thats low, it was over 300 before

mine's already using 225mb, I don't think I need to load a surfcam

I get 95mb in the surf cam with the win media plugin.
But then I get 83mb with no pages opened at all.

What ever happened to firefox having a low memory footprint?

Stop overloading firefox with plugins. Mine sits at around ~50 with the video playing.

This many addons shouldn't use that much extra space.

Haha.

just installed flagfox, pretty cool lynx.

Funny how it claims this site is in the center of Australia tho lol

I'm guessing the only info it has on the servers location is the nation.

Found the server, must be underground in a secret facility.

hey jmr, ive noticed my firefox using 500-600mB and 100% cpu since i upgraded to a few diff versions of 2... keep upgrading mate, it's a common problem with firefox but they get it worked out eventually. a restart of FF always fixes it though..

I've left Firefox open. Got 4 ausgamers tags open in the 1 firefox window. Firefox has gobbled up 270megs and is sitting at 50% of CPU. The typing now is slightly delayed because of it.

:(

You call that a memory leak... haha :) poor effort
