[Bug 118642] Memory leak

[gabrimonfa]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

I usually keep a lot of tabs opened, 30 or 40, for example.

After some hours of browsing firefox uses a lot of memory, even 250 MBs.

If I kill the app, e.g. doing a killall firefox-bin, and then I reopen
Firefox I'm able to reload exactly all the tabs. When loading all the
pages has finished, firefox uses much less memory than before, usually
about 120 MBs , that is quite a reasonable values with so many opened
tabs. But after some hours, even with little browsing, this value
increase significantly again.
