RELEASE: Hardy .1
CD/DVD VARIANT: 64bit Desktop CD
ISO BUILD: 8.04.1

SYMPTOMS: While using FF3 in conjunction with pidgin memory usage slowly creeps up.  Neither app on their own cause the issue but together a system starting at 338 meg usage is up to 794 in about 2 hours in slow increments of .1 mb other than standard apps that open in task bar etc these 2 combined were the only apps open when the memory leak occurs.
I've gone through all the apps I use daily and these 2 are the only ones that cause the issue.

CAUSE:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1/ open pidgin in sessions so it open on startup.
2/ open firefox and link to the ubuntu wiki.
3/ watch freemem disappear slowly.

** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
