[SLL] Laughing down Firefox today at my work...

[Xeno Campanoli]

Say, today our weekly meeting included a two-man five minute lambast of
Firefox and it's memory usage problems.  Supposedly one fellow kept
firefox on his Windows system over the weekend and it had used some 6
gigabytes of memory.  Then he said that it reclaimed the memory in
windows after a few hours, so therefore it wasn't a leak.  I always
thought that was a leak, but perhaps that's another matter.

Anyway, I know this doesn't sound "Linuxy", but Firefox, after all, is
one of the most well known and well-used of popular open-source
software, and quite frankly it often behaves even worse on Linux than it
does on XP for me, so I think it is a good topic of discussion.

Does anyone know if there is some kind of agenda to handle firefoxes
memory and crashing problems?  Often if you continuously don't get no
respect, you are soon on the way out.
