Leaving Firefox running overnight with 8 tabs open results in memory usage topping that of a CD (700mb). Kind of insane.
November 13th, 2005 at 3:16 pm
Hmmm, seems to be something strange with the pop-up blocker now…not sure what it is.but its there. Anyone else?? No running Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051113 Firefox/1.5 ID:2005111303
Same on 2005111203 verison………besides that it runs nice for now…….
November 13th, 2005 at 5:52 pm
Yeah, my firefox starts to eat up my cpu and memory every once in a while…first noticed it with RC1, still happening with RC2.
November 13th, 2005 at 9:32 pm
peakshysteria >>
same problem.
I saw more than 4 popups yesterday.
November 14th, 2005 at 6:54 am
Heh, I was telling about enormous memory leaks and people in mozillazine forums laughed at me. So looks like You are bad kids and Santa is giving you leaking FF builds, too. :D
November 14th, 2005 at 10:58 am
HAH, I installed Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051113 Firefox/1.5 and wanted to update it to 14.11 and it won’t update again, funny thing, and a bit annoying too.
Also it goes default to BETA2 page, what a cool project it is! I thought it is already RC3…eh
November 14th, 2005 at 11:07 am
Yeah, I just took a quick look on Peak Mem Usage…107 MB! And I just started it and started browsing 2 sites, one forum and this page. Hmm.
Heh, now I noticed current mem usage is 101MB, hah, and all I have open is this page and blog. WOW!
November 14th, 2005 at 11:11 am
I take it back, I had the forum still open, and seems I tracked a bug.
go to:
http://forums.asp.net/
and stay it for a while, the forum refresh itself after a minute or so…and even if not, after a while firefox will double mem usage, then triple and so on…
November 14th, 2005 at 11:53 am
I just had a crash.
I was copying a very (very very) long text in a textarea and firefox closed witout a warning :S
November 14th, 2005 at 1:14 pm
Both nestastnik and Moktoipas; it would be nice to know more about your FF. Which version, and if you’re using nightlies how do you update? Do you add/remove programs and remove FF and then resinstall (and if, from where?)? Or do you use the eminent Update channel selector? And if, what channel do you set it to? And what extensions are you using? And are you using the Nightly tester tools to make the extensions compatible or are you manually adjusting the extensions…..??
Reporting like this is useless……….noone can help and you’re not helping by reporting this way (not to say that i myself am very good at being ecxact).
No using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051114 Firefox/1.5 ID:2005111403 …to early to say if there are regressions………so far nothing to kick on….

always updated with the updater on channel nightly.
I just tried with a clear profile
When I paste very fastly (by maintaining ctrl+v) a long text into a text area, firefox hangs and then crash.
But maybe i am asking to much, nobody (except me) does stupid thing like that one ^^ :D
November 14th, 2005 at 2:10 pm
I made the same stupid thing in IE. It hangs, but don’t crash so i have to kill it by myself.
November 14th, 2005 at 2:24 pm
hmm, he, just fucked up my whole system (not because of FF as far as i can see…)…..so i guess we both make mistakes……..must say i once again really really hate Microsoft…….god…..give me strenght……this does it…..Gentoo next…..to months of pain at least……..but worth it for sure…..

Jesse: I think “nestastnik” is using Windows 2003 SP1 operating system, not Mac OS X. But I really doubt it is a windows memory management problem, I definitely think it is issue of Firefox windows build itself. And also, you _do not_ need to refresh that page(asp net forum), just stay and hang there for a couple of minutes. And you are out of memory. Firefox is just grabbing and grabbing more of it. 11/11 nightly branch build, all windows I guess(at least NT branch).
November 15th, 2005 at 12:06 pm
Hmmm, using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051115 Firefox/1.5 ID:2005111503 since last release my OS is destroyed. All menubars and toolbars is deformed by strange colors. Actually it seems more and more like its the Whiteheart NC Firefox theme which is doing it! Tried to force it compatible with the Nightly tester tools. It still wont work but underneath it says that FF is checking for compatibility. Its been like thin since yesterday. Yeah, o know this aint the right place to ask, but does anyone know how to remove the theme manually? (no options is working clicking on the theme…..)

Tester: thank you, you are absolutely right, 300MB of memmory use after few minutes is not a problem.
And btw, I posted info about which build of FF I have, and I hundred times postet I can’t autoupdate. Classic way, MENU -> HELP -> UPDATE. Btw, I am not using ANY extension, I won’t test FF with Extension, it would be foolish to track bugs that could be caused by buggy extensions. I am just using normal nightly 1.8 branch of Firefox, I have written it was expected to be RC3.
I can really confirm that last branches consume more memmory that the branches 2 weeks ago. And I am allways doing clean install, e.g. download the zip file, extract, delete the whole profile directories(3) and run/set FF.
November 16th, 2005 at 12:07 pm
thanks taharka………i’ll give it a shot later…….
and nestastnik; sorry about my comment earlier…..as you can see i update more frequently than you an some of the others here. Thats why i asked you about the version. And with all my extension i cannot see any more memory than the builds before my current build:

November 16th, 2005 at 8:55 pm
I tried the http://forums.asp.net/ website. When I first arrive, my task manager shows Firefox at about 45Mb. Commit charge is about 285Mb. After a few minutes of hanging around, Firefox jumps up to about 82Mb, and commit charge drops to 275Mb. After some more hanging around, the page does some sort of auto-refresh, and the numbers revert to 45/285. Then a few minutes later, back to 82/275.
However, The Burning Edge displays the same behavior. 45/285 on arrival, 82/275 after a few minutes. The change is instantaneous, but otherwise the numbers seem pretty steady. I suspect Firefox is using 85Mb on the high intervals because I’ve been browsing for a bit already, so it isn’t at its freshest.
Hmm… *closes Firefox* Total mem usage drops to 205. *waits a few minutes, then restarts Firefox*
Homepage is Google. Mem usage is 18/217, steady for several minutes.
Moving to Burning Edge. Mem usage is 19/220, steady.
Moving to the comments page for this blog entry. Mem usage becomes 19.5/221, steady.
Following link to the asp forums. Mem usage becomes 25/271. A few moments later, becomes 60/260.
After a few minutes, the auto-reload happens. Mem usage becomes 25/272. Moments later, 61/260.
Moving to Burning Edge again. Mem usage 25/271. Moments later, 61/260. Steady.
Moving to asp forums again. Mem usage 27/272. Moments later, 63/262. Steady.
Burning Edge again. 27/272. Then 62/261. Steady.
That memory bug may exist, but it’s darn hard to reproduce from machine to machine.

I agree with that. Memory usage has been steady and great for me on 1.5 branch builds for quite a while now. Have hardly seen it go above 70mb in task manager. Not saying the problem doesn’t exist, but not on my machine.
November 17th, 2005 at 7:01 am
Yes, the same as Mike here. No extensive memory usage on my machine either. And offcourse, not saying it dont exist……
November 17th, 2005 at 11:00 am
Not that I know what I am talking about but I believe that have the same problem and can reproduce it at will. The problem seems to be with javascript. I first noticed the problem with the inforss extension (based on javascript) which had a memory leak problem if I left it over night. I confirmed that I have the same memory leak problem when I go to http://forums.asp.net/. When I turn off all javascript I see the memory jump up after a few minutes but it is eventually reclaimed by the system.
Hope that helps.

hmmm, i also think there is something wrong with java. Cant pinpoint it but some sites wont stop loading, even after they are supposedly fully loaded……clicking stop and doesnt look like there are something missing on the pages at all. Opening a link from the very same sites again starts a forever-load and so on……….

rc2 just prompted me to update… now i have rc3
November 18th, 2005 at 6:14 am
i have found most of my mem leaks occur when firefox refuses to release the memory after i close tabs. For example, opening, say, 30 tabs with large pictures boots mem to 200+, which is expected. However, upon clsing them, there is no drop or only a slight drop in mem usage. I find my firefox steadily climbs in memory usage, making it unusable after 1 or two days of it remaining open. Most people dont see this bug due to their browsing habits, i mostly open groups to tabs at once via bookmarks to browse my favorite blogs/newstrips, then close them, but the mem usage remains 100+.
I have tried both using safe mode (which dosent solve the problem…meaning extensions are not at fault), and a clean profile with a clean install of firefox 1.5 rc2 (now rc3). No improvement at all. Of course, whenever i try to bring it up in the forums, i just get ignored, despite multiple threats on this problem.
As for my updates, i dont use nightlies, though i do update when there is a beta/rc release.
November 18th, 2005 at 7:38 am
Running RC2 I used “Help/Check for updates”, and it was quick and easy. As noted elsewhere, the date is still reported as 20051111.
On the down side, RC3, like RC1 and RC2 before it, STILL refuses to honor the Adobe Acrobat plugin.

Umh, OS/2 fixes? Is that thing still around? Shouldn’t it be OS X?
November 18th, 2005 at 11:12 am
It seems there is still a bug. In the Internet I can’t show, as it is an internal site (Intranet). I shall try to describe.
The main page consists of two frames. The first frame (A) contains links on which pages are loaded into the second frame (B). Under the link (frame A) there is a call of a CGI-script which generic a page. The call of a CGI-script has a string variable. The variable value – sequence of symbols (the Russian text).
Click the link from the first frame – loads page into the second frame. All is normal. The generated page in the second frame has tag META for automatic refresh of frame. After the set interval of time the browser starts refreshing the frame. In this moment possibly there is an incorrect transfer (coding?) of national symbols. Instead of correct page the CGI-script does not find necessary data and generates page with the message on a mistake.
It occurs in Firefox 1.5 (without extensions):
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5.
In Firefox 1.0.7 it works fine, therefore I think that it is a bug.
November 18th, 2005 at 5:53 pm
Igor, can you set up a simple testcase on a public web site? Then we’d have enough information to determine what the bug is (if any).
November 18th, 2005 at 5:54 pm
Alexander Toresson, yes, there were OS/2-specific fixes. Afaik, OS/2 has nothing to do with Mac OS X.

exiting tabs before they are fully loaded generates a pop-up alert sying TypeError: the document has no properties!!! The same happens when exiting a page/tab with dialogboxes without filling them out. The same also goes for the Server not found alert.
November 19th, 2005 at 11:51 am
correction: exiting any tabs in any way (ctrl + w, middleclick tab or tab bar) makes the same error alert. Also ctrl + t doesnt make an insert point (which forces me to use ctrl + l or the mouse).

Definitely eating up memory — and leaving it ‘inactive’ — these last few days’ builds all seem to have the same problem. After a while the response time starts to lag, and I see half the meg of RAM is inactive.
Rebooting fixes the problem. Hey, like Windows … Waaaah.

Jesse, see the site: http://www.linuxshare.ru/tmp/ffox.
Attention to Russian word in parentheses.
November 20th, 2005 at 11:02 pm
Interesting. Frames don’t seem to matter: loading http://www.linuxshare.ru/tmp/ffox/index.cgi?item=%F1%CE%D5%D3 and waiting is sufficient to trigger the undesired behavior. I wonder whether this is closely related to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=261929 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=284474 .
November 20th, 2005 at 11:19 pm
“Янус” would become “/=CA” if you took the UTF-16 or UCS2 representation of “Янус”, threw away the high bytes, and treated the low bytes as UTF-8 or ASCII. Something in Gecko must be doing a “lossy UTF-16 to ASCII conversion” inappropriately, perhaps on a string it expected would already have been escaped. This is almost certainly a bug rather than a case where it’s unclear which charset should be used (as in bug 284474 and bug 261929).
November 20th, 2005 at 11:48 pm
Loading http://www.linuxshare.ru/tmp/ffox/index.cgi?item=%F1%CE%D5%D3 doesn’t behave as you might expect in Firefox 1.0.7 either. In Firefox 1.0.7, it sends the refresh URL (at least the query part) as UTF-8. That’s arguably a reasonable thing to do, but it isn’t what your server expects and I don’t think it’s consistent with Firefox 1.0.7′s behavior for links.

using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051121 Firefox/1.5 ID:2005112104. Help –> check for updates doesnt work (same as from 20051120 to 20051121). Trying manuall install for 1122 vers.

hmm, now using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051122 Firefox/1.5 ID:2005112211
seems that the update channel selector automatically after a manual install sets itself to release channel update (instead of the usual nightly which is my usual choice). Not sure, but it looks like the update channel selector even after changing it from release to nightly goes searching for release update. Anyone else encountered something like this?
Also two latest versions seems to load pages way slower than the earlier releases at first. But if pages are loaded once they load way faster the next time……..guess this is the cache kicking in….too bad it dont follow updates. Very irritating to begin all over again.

Update channel – nightly. After release 2005111405 of updatings does not find out.

Looks like it is time for K-meleon – no memory leaks, fast and light. =]
November 23rd, 2005 at 6:34 am
he, cant se the point of using K-meleon instead of official FF releases……..no point in comparing nightly branch (or trunk) builds with the latest stable official release. Nightly builds are unstable, thats the why we test……if its no fun….install an official release……
November 24th, 2005 at 9:23 am
Kmeleon is OKish, but what about that URL http://www.clarodigital.com.br, good one for Crash testing, isn’t it? Already mentioned…

Manual updates will be necessary until this is fixed, yes.

Sorry guys, http://www.clarodigital.com.br/ mvoed to http://www.claro.com.br/

I hope Firefox won’t reach final state, e.g. 1.5 final if at least 110% of here mentioned bugs are corrected ;]
OK so I am not banned from autoupdate ;), as I see others with similar troubles..
I would DEFINITELY like clear private data button, I really miss it. Maybe its time to write my 1st extension :-)
November 24th, 2005 at 11:59 pm
eh nestastnik, do you really mean Ctrl + Shift + Del isnt enough? Hmmm, i’ve heard of you mouse-men…myself i’m a keybord-man hehe….Anyway check out X extension at: http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/clav/#x
could maybe be something for you. Think i have heard of more, but this’ll do for now……to early in the morning…….

thanks for the shortcut…
I had this problem today, browsed a few sites, have 6-7 browser WINDOW opened, closing them and opening periodically each with 3 tabs etc…unless just one APPLICATION of FF was visible on the taskbar and I liked to end session. I closed the last one window and another windwos suddenly appeared out of the blue :-) with 2 tabs, so I closed it too and another one appeared from somewhere :-) I nearly forgot I had this windows opened, they weren’t visible on taskbar. And looking to Task Manager, win2k3 has freed much more memmory, more than in usuall cases, e.g. a little swapping began.

This build gave me memory leak that resulted in my system giving me a video card error, then when I restarted and opened Firefox it opened really skinny with all toolbars showing and all my bookmarks DELETED.
The worst part is that even after uninstalling it, deleting the whole programs file for FF, and removing all remnants with CC CLeaner; I reinstalled it and it STILL does it. My whole damn system is screwed up!

For those complaining over high memory loss, check this out; http://primates.ximian.com/~federico/news-2005-11.html#moz-images
Its a proposal for linux thou……Not interesting for myself since my FF mem. is ok. But DeVaney i’m getting back to you later tonight (since my OS also is acting up…)……….Been nice to now something about your themes and extensions an FF vers offcourse. And do you run 64Bit system (linux or Win)??
November 26th, 2005 at 9:00 am
Daniel DeVaney — Which “this build” were using when your system got screwed up?
What OS/platform, and what build date?

I just had an unexpected quit with Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051126 Firefox/1.5
Talkback was open — and didn’t record anything. It didn’t quit, just missed the event completely.
I have an OSX crash log for the event — is there a way to manually put it into Talkback, that I’m missing here?
November 27th, 2005 at 5:05 pm
You can’t manually add an OSX crash log to Talkback, but you can paste the first few lines of a stack trace here, or file a bug, or search Bugzilla or Talkback using the first line of the stack trace. If you end up filing a new bug, paste the first few lines of the stack trace into the bug report and upload the entire crash report as a text/plain attachment.
November 27th, 2005 at 8:28 pm
I’m not sure if this is a “stack trace” –

Whole thing available to anyone who wants it, but I gather these usually aren’t helpful. If there’s any particular chunk that would indicate why Talkback failed to notice Firefox crashing, I’d guess that’s what’s more important than the crash itself.

A thought –
I often have both Firefox and Camino
open at the same time — could this cause a problem with TalkBack working?
(Why two browsers at once, you may ask? Camino is much faster on my G3/900mhz Powerbook — with it, I can look at several pages I like to check, while Firefox is working at loading a different site. But Camino doesn’t have AdBlock, Aardvark, or NoScript, so I don’t use it on pages I don’t already know I can stand. It has a less capable crapfilter (or one I don’t yet understand well enough to take proper advantabe of).)
