I do not see this problem.  Often, such problems are caused by faulty
scripts in the Web pages, especially in delivering advertisements.  I
have JavaScript enabled, but I also use AdBlock Plus to suppress most

Agreed: it seems to be the ads, videos that keep running when 
off-screen, scripts, and pop-ups that just keep adding memory.

Hello Phil,

Very good advice on your links to memory usage.  I had seen this before, 
but couldn't pay much attention to the reports because they are as usual 
in "Tech Speak".


Is there a reference we can refer to, to better understand what we are 
reading?

Win XP Pro sr3

Thanks for your support,

Yeah, Mozilla products had a bit of a tarnished reputation as memory
hogs. But this is not being ignored.

There's a team at Mozilla working hard to reduce memory usage and leaks
in Firefox. Much of their work directly benefits other Gecko products,
like Seamonkey. And I expect the Seamonkey team is listening to the
recommendations of the MemShrink team to improve things on their end, too.

Firefox went from "wasteful" to "thrifty" over the last year, and it's
still improving. But some things came up in the investigation. One of
them is that several extensions are responsible for massive leaks.

Recently, for instance, they publicly took McAfee to task, because the
extensions their antivirus installed had GINORMOUS memory leaks. Mcafee
listened and there's now an updated version of the extension that's much
better (not really good, but acceptable).

So, consider the hypothesis that one of the extensions you are using
might be the source of the leak.

(Just to note: Chrome fans used to go around claiming that Chrome is
smaller and uses less memory than other browsers. It used to be so, but
it's no longer true. Chrome nowadays is a larger download and uses more
memory than Firefox.)

Francesco, this grabbing and not releasing RAM problem has been known of 
for quite a while and a solution is yet to be found.


While reading this post, and being aware that Mozilla/Firefox/SeaMonkey 
are known to have problems letting go of memory, I was just thinking... 
Cache.. As the website content is downloaded is it stored in RAM as well 
as on disk?...Is this why Moz, FF & SM seem to absorb more and more RAM 
as a session continues??


Does MSIE also store in RAM and Cache? If so, why doesn't MSIE also 
suffer this problem?? Or does it, but no-one mentions it??


Probably just ramblings that the Mozilla developers have already 
considered!!

 >> SeaMonkey 1.1.x hemorrhages memory <<

A possibly related question...

I am running 1.1.17 on a number of different XPPro SP2 boxes, one of 
which is running XPPro Tablet Edition.


Seamonkey is one of only _two_ programs which is not terminating 
correctly and the old instances stay visible in task manager.  I tend to 
close seamonkey completely several times each day.


This happens _only_ on the Tablet Edition computer.  I do not have SM's 
quick launch option turned on.


Since the tablet is exceptionally stable otherwise, it sometimes runs 
for multiple weeks of all day use between reboots and I have found as 
many as half a dozen instances of seamonkey running when looking in task 
manager when no instance of seamonkey is visible on the taskbar.


First... wonder if solaris has something similar to task manager to see 
if the same is happening.


Other than being a responsible computer user and rebooting my tablet 
daily, anyone have any idea why only this computer has this issue?


I'm sorry to say I didn't flag this thread and missed your question, well formed 
but beyond my ability to help. I'm a Linux guy, I occasionally run XP or Win7 if 
a VM for testing, but I have no clue why the tablet edition behaves as you note. 
It is possible[1] that the OS is at fault, and the application is ending in a 
valid but unusual way which triggers the problem. I will ask my Windows guy if 
he has any thoughts on this, but tablet may not be familiar to him either.

I tend to leave it running for 3-4 days...  Until it gets to time-consuming

It does.  Called "top" or "ps"...  "Top" organizes the processes by
quantity of CPU/Memory/%run.  "ps" justs lists all processes.  For ps,
you supply the ordering...

Re: Memory Leak with SeaMonkey ...?

[Beverly Howard]

>> SeaMonkey 1.1.x hemorrhages memory <<

A possibly related question...

I am running 1.1.17 on a number of different XPPro SP2 boxes, one of 
which is running XPPro Tablet Edition.


Seamonkey is one of only _two_ programs which is not terminating 
correctly and the old instances stay visible in task manager.  I tend to 
close seamonkey completely several times each day.


This happens _only_ on the Tablet Edition computer.  I do not have SM's 
quick launch option turned on.


Since the tablet is exceptionally stable otherwise, it sometimes runs 
for multiple weeks of all day use between reboots and I have found as 
many as half a dozen instances of seamonkey running when looking in task 
manager when no instance of seamonkey is visible on the taskbar.


First... wonder if solaris has something similar to task manager to see 
if the same is happening.


Other than being a responsible computer user and rebooting my tablet 
daily, anyone have any idea why only this computer has this issue?


Thanks in advance,
Beverly Howard

Greetings:

I've been observing a 'minor' problem with V1.1.7 of SeaMonkey for
SPARC for Solaris 9 for some time now.  I *know* this is hoary old
version, but it IS the latest one I have available.  I WAS going to
'make' a new one based on the compile settings kindly provided by the
Sun Beijing office, but they did not survive a disk crash,  (and I did
not have that backed up...)  And I have not been able to find them
again.  So I need some help.  Please.

To wit:  It appears that there is a bit of memory leaking - at least,
that is what I THINK you call it when a process takes memory and never
gives it back.

I have noticed that SeaMonkey STARTS out with about 36+MB and finally
'opens a window' when memory usage gets to about 53.8M, RES 42.7M...

SeaMonkey 2.0.x leaks memory. SeaMonkey 1.1.x hemorrhages memory, at least in my 
use. With 1.1.x I close and restart every few days, with 2.0.x maybe a week or 
so, but a newer version will not solve your problem, just make it less bad. I 
restart when memory use hits 800MB or so.

Really? How much memory was it with 10K days? I have set my history

It was using anywhere from 140-180 megs. :) 

That's not bad. So how many days did you lower to and how much memory?

I actually needed more RAM. I only had 512K.
Seriously, 512 KB? How in the world can you even boot up a recent OS? 
[grin] You meant 512 MB, right?


Yes. LOL


Wow, a reply to an old newsgroup thread from June 2008! Welcome back. :)


Hang on Phillip, Sarah Houston must have had other things on her mind as 
she became Sarah Austin.
