I have investigated this kind of problem multiple times in the past, always with no problem found. So I am skeptical that this is Firebug issue, based on my experience.
I will also say that Firebug + Chromebug + Error Console + Firebug Test Console + Firebug Trace Console takes 182M running FF3.0.8 on my WinXP box. And no one else has complained. The most common previous problem was using Firebug on sites that load images in loops. Since Firebug's net panel stores previous loads, the memory naturally increases. This is correct behavior. Some things you can try that might give some info are: 1) Start with a single simple site and add tabs for sites you often use: does the memory jump on one particular site? 2) Disable the Console/Script/Net panel. Does this help? If yes, enable one at a time. Based on these results we can look deeper. jjb On Apr 1, 4:08 am, dashnc <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > since I updated to the latest Firebug version, Fírefox+Firebug takes > nearly all the machine's memory when I use Firbug to inspect the > site's DOM et cetera.
