One solution is simply to restart the browser every day. If you want to investigate, try to find a site and a set of Firebug options which show the greatest effect. The options include which panels are enabled and which ones you have opened. Start by resetting all options before each test run using Firebug Icon Menu > Options > Reset All. Note that Firefox caches pages and Firebug must hang on to memory for anything in the cache. So you might experiment with Firefox cache setting. jjb -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
