There seems to be an issue when loading pages that have QT movies. Memory consumption goes from 30-50K range to over 230K range and stays in the 200K range, even after closing the movie and leaving the site where the movie was hosted. Memory Test At launch ========= * All go to start page google.com FireFox - 27,992K IE - 33,652K Safari - 38,476K Load Page www.apple.com ======================= FireFox - 28,920K IE - 38,560K Safari - 44,752K Load Page www.apple.com/mac =========================== FireFox - 34,328K IE - 52,324K Safari - 56,872K Load Page www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/ ======================================= FireFox - 40,368K IE - 52,284K Safari - 62,852K *Click "Watch the Demo" under Desktop FireFox - 78,288K IE - 107.144K Safari - 244,932K Load Page www.google.com ======================================= *memory stayed pretty constant for each browser, even after I left them sit for awhile. FireFox - 53,624K IE - 59,512K Safari - 218,032K Minimizing Browser ================================ * This last step was interesting. After I completed all the above steps, I minimized each browser and got the following results. FireFox - 67,032K IE - 1,500K Safari - 3,452K
Thanks for the detailed bug report! Just to confirm: your "Minimizing Browser" step is simply clicking the "minimize" button in the title bar while still looking at the Google web page?
