FWIW: On Solaris I also see firefox eating memory. After several days =20 with several open tabs with several pictures in each page (for example =20 BigBrother and similar stuff) it eats up a lot of swap. After closing =20 firefox, it frees some memory (the one firefox itself has eaten up), =20 but not the memory the X server has eaten up. When I closed firefox =20 several times, X has eaten too much and everything (on the desktop) =20 comes to a crawl (more or less). Restarting the X server (xorg BTW) =20 everything is back to normal. AFAIK it's a know firefox bug which isn't even fixed in firefox 2.0 =20 (despite a lot of requests from users). Bye, Alexander. --=20 Put your best foot forward.
