Yes, this is a problem of firefox in general (why first I wrote |
| 26 |
"genetal"?). It exists in windows' firefox, and obviously in *nix. I |
| 27 |
reported the problem months ago, and nothing changed. |

The problem, as far as I remember, was the firefox blocks pop-up |
| 30 |
windows, thus growing in memory until you close it. Check, if there are |
| 31 |
any pop-ups in the site causes the problem. |
