Bug 283063 is fixed, this was for Firefox trunk (i.e. FF 1.1). The mentioned Bug 131456 will fix it for Mozilla Suite (trunk only) and some new parts for FF too. But the patch is not checked in yet. That is the reason for NEW. All branch releases like FF 1.0.1/Mozilla Suite 1.7.6 don't have these patches (or don't need it). People, read the bug(s).

I really look forward to download a new version of Firefox with this bug out. Right now i have approx. 40 tabs open consuming 120+MB on my laptop.

When I maximize it again, the memory bounces back, but to a smaller value than before. It then slowly begins creeping up again.
