After last post, it started hanging.
I am not BLAMING but SUSPECTING firefox from bacports NOT from debian.
I think memory leak will not be regained after the application is
closed. Even after closing the application causing leak, memory can't
be regained as it hangs anf becomes unusable. I hope dev gurus here
will agree with me. further as I said no other application was
running.
Yes I have checked randomly FF uses CPU time even 90% and memory 40%.
Here is the timed free for this boot

I am not talking about responsibilty. Many users here use firefox from
bacports as ff1.5 is vailable there.
