Firefox 2 memory leak... found out what it was?

Well... after trying to track down everything, apparently a "extension that fixed a memory leak" didn't -- despite what everything said! So, despite the McAfee SiteAdviser plugin being useful to see if websites I develop are being redlisted, it's gotta go!

Oh, and the "performancing" extension also has a memory leak with the newest version at this date. But I never used it, so it's gone.

Firefox 2 memory leak -- in popup windows!

I think I've found it! Thanks to the "memory leak extension", I now have seen when Firefox leaks memory -- on most popup windows that are loaded by javascript. On almost every popup window, close it down and the alert box tells me that objects weren't unloaded and it's in a "chrome" and some file (can't remember) ending in ".js".

So now I've found it apparently! now... if they'd only fix the freaking thing!

Firefox 2 Memory Leaks?

I can't be the only one having these right? I keep on searching and searching, but everytime I look for "Firefox 2 memory leaks" online all I get are "they fixed them!" NO! They can't possibly be fixed...

I downloaded an extension that should tell if another extension has a memory leak -- nothing pops up. All the extensions I have are the newest version.

But here's what happens:
Computer has 220MB used on a restart / login (or even multiple log out / logins).
Run firefox (log out, back in, etc).
Computer has 230, 240, 250, 260, 270MB used at login with nothing running other than the same! It's like at each logoff it "loses" 10 MB due to firefox - but it's only lost at logout and only if firefox is run.

And here's the freaky part:
Computer is using 250 MB of RAM
Run Firefox, firefox uses 40MB of RAM
What's the total memory usage? if you said 290MB -- you're wrong! It's 280MB.

With Firefox v1-1.5, the tab mix plus extension fixed this problem. Now with firefox 2 it's back, and not even that extension fixes it! yet it's the exact same thing that I had a problem with with the version 1.x ones....

But the really strange part is Firefox is listed as using 8-10MB more memory than it's actually using by the system by the task manager. If the task manager says it's using "40 MB" it's only using 30MB more memory than the computer was using before it ran. What's up with the 10MB? The only difference on my computer from version 1.5 (that stopped doing this after tab mix plus), and version 2 -- is Firefox!

I wonder if they'll ever get this strange thing fixed?
