The Firefox equivalent for this is about:memory. You can also tell
Firefox to run the garbage collector from that page.

I dunno, I am not too quick to jump on blaming the browser as "memory
leaky". I am willing to bet some sites are not built with your memory in
mind. Consider sites that just load and load javascript objects ad
nauseum. Should the browser say : "ok that's enough web site, no more java

Once or twice a week I shut down Firefox, and reopen it. As it saves all

Even quiting is taking a long time. About 10 minutes so far. At 99% of
