Hello Brian, Maybe not completely what you're searching for (and good chances you already know it), but maybe Sieve could be helpful for you? (http:// home.wanadoo.nl/jsrosman/ or http://www.softpedia.com/get/Programming/Other-Programming-Files/sIEve.shtml) Not in FireBug, not in FF, but it analyses memory leaks in IE quite detailed. It's the follower up of Drip. I asked about a memory leak detection tool at the Dutch front-end web developers (Fronteers) congress last september, and then Dean Edwards mentioned Sieve. It works well. Hope this is helpful to you. Good luck, Paul
