memory leak
Fri, 10/22/2010 - 02:22 — blorp
Ever since I installed Foxy Proxy, Firefox steadily eats more and more ram. Generally within a few hours the process is using 500mb+ of memory, whereas before Foxy Proxy it would only use 200-300mb. At 500mb Firefox starts getting really slow and I have to restart it, which is a huge project given that I usually have around 30-40 tabs open.
Not really sure what information I should include. I didn't see a sticky or anything. I'm using Firefox 3.6.10.

I restarted Firefox around the time I made this thread and it's taking a little longer to leak to the extent I described before. It's gone from using ~220mb of ram to 367mb in this period. It may be the case that I haven't been using Firefox enough to make the memory leak as fast as it was.
Hi, Thanks for all of the
Hi,
Thanks for all of the detailed information. With all of the addons you have installed & tabs your have open, what makes you think this is due to FoxyProxy?

I had all of those things
I had all of those things installed for a long time and just recently installed Foxy Proxy. Directly after installing it I started to experience this problem.
