Oh dear! After upgrading to version 1.5, my beloved Firefox quickly developed a form of Pythonesque gluttony in that after a few hours it managed to devour most of the available system memory. At one stage, it had eaten a whopping 534MB. Not good.

Firefox taking up over 500MB of memory!

It seems that I’m not alone in in suffering this memory leak. Just hope there’s a fix for it pretty pronto.
