tech.cybernetnews.com— A good guide on which extensions you need to watch out for in Firefox. You won't believe how popular some of the extensions are that have memory leaks!

But it's still CSS 2.0 compliant.......these extensions are the Achilles heel of firefix. Maybe if they charged for it and developed a profit model then good developers could get paid to fix the problems. Until then, it's just still CSS 2.0 compliant.
“I don't know where you get your "facts" but you have negative diggs and that's a fact.”Because my comments are in a community heavily populated by Firefox Fans. Diggs do not equal facts. They are opinions. But memory footprint, speed, and features are facts. Opera is ahead of the game in both. And besides, I can’t help but to notice that you also have negative diggs.

With Mozilla's XPCOM classes your extension can cross programming language boundaries. Javascript can call C++ which can call Python etc.. A lot of leaks are caused by circular references between objects that cross language boundaries so they are never released. Here is a good explanation <a class="user" href="http://www.mozilla.org/scriptable/avoiding-leaks.html.">http://www.mozilla.org/scriptable/avoiding-leaks.html.</a> I also think bug #206520 is another reason alot of extensions leak.

Is there any way of seeing how much memory each extension actually is using?
