After several different tests with Firefox 17.0.1 (32-bit) w/ Firebug 1.11.1 on a Core i5 system (8GB RAM) if i power on Firebug and then power off and then begin surfing around the net then about 1 hour later i notice memory usage of Firefox climbs above 600MB even when all tabs have been shut down. This memory footprint then continues to climb over time and webpages and browser menus begin to bog down to a crawl.
It appears Firebug may think it should be running on every webpage i visit and i guess processing the information and all this data is slowing things down. I tried the plugin on a different slower system (Core 2 Duo) and Firebug did not have the problem. I also tried using Waterfox (64-bit Firefox) and noticed the memory footprint did continue to rise when Firebug was accessed and shutdown but the bogging down wasnt as noticeable likely because of the 64-bit pipelining. Can someone check to see if there is a fix for this? I'd love to provide some debug details but no clue how to do that. Please give me a step-by-step on what you need from me and i will be happy to provide it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
