to OBKenobi:Accountable to who? the millions of paying customers that they have?? oh thats right firefox is FREE.. if you really want this problem fixed so badly.. which is sounds like if it is a problem than maybe you should volunteer some of your own time to track down the offending code and fix the problem,,I'm sorry but I hate people who demand things from free software (as in beer), even though most of the firefox dev's are paid.. mozilla has absolutely no responsibility to fix any problems for you.
"I turned off ALL page and history caching, but when browsing graphics-intensive sites Firefox will retain useless data, with memory usage climbing infinitely, until the browser has to be restarted. This can be duplicated every time, do you need this demonstrated to you personally?!"Yes, please do! I find that Firefox 2 uses less memory than other browsers

Is it me or is the new interface hideous in comparison with the old one?
