I decided to do a little experiment. I opened the task manager and wrote down the “memory (private working set)” number as I ran a little timer, using the newest version of Firefox (though this behavior was noticed in 1.5 and 1.0 as well).
5 Minutes| 24,000 K | 21,000 K
4 Minutes| 27,000 K | 28,000 K
3 Minutes| 27,000 K | 58,000 K
2 Minutes| 27,000 K | 92,000 K
1 Minutes| 27,000 K | 130,000 K
0 Minutes| 24,000 K | 162,000 K
Time Left | Control: Yahoo.com | Forum
Tested With vers. 2.0.0.12
Screen was left idle. No interaction.
Edit: Also, for some reason as I type this, the behavior seems to have dropped off… Huh?
Well, oddly, it stopped doing the loading thing after I posted this thread.[/quote]
Interesting. My uneducated guess, then, would be that it’s a leak associated with something only the first time that it has to load each time, and that when it loads from the cache the problem isn’t quite as likely to happen. shrug :]

It was doing it for a few hours, then just up and stopped happening.
Has anybody else been having trouble with being suddenly logged out, then having trouble logging back in again (Ie: putting in all your information, hitting the login button, the page reloading, and nothing happening)?
I ran the big 3 just in case but didn’t pick up anything.
Plus it would be nice if it was clever enough to realise that there are some threads (NFL…) I basically never visit because at the moment I’m always clicking on the unread symbol to see no actual new posts. A bit greedy though, I suppose.
