FWIW: On Solaris I also see firefox eating memory. After several days with several open tabs with several pictures in each page (for example BigBrother and similar stuff) it eats up a lot of swap. After closing firefox, it frees some memory (the one firefox itself has eaten up), but not the memory the X server has eaten up. When I closed firefox several times, X has eaten too much and everything (on the desktop) comes to a crawl (more or less). Restarting the X server (xorg BTW) everything is back to normal. AFAIK it's a know firefox bug which isn't even fixed in firefox 2.0 (despite a lot of requests from users). Bye, Alexander. -- Put your best foot forward.
