Hi David,

I used Firefox 8 on Ubuntu to reproduce the issue. However the same problem is seen even on Windows 7 with Firefox 8.

1. Open a forum page : https://www.beatthegmat.com/books-on-shelves-t48754.html
2. Leave FF idle for sometime.
3. Return and check the memory usage.

Let me know if there is anyway I can generate logs or debug report for you.

P.S. I work as a QA Engineer in one of the database companies.

-Rahul

Thanks for the details Rahul. I'll check it out. Good to know that we have good QA engineers in our community. FYI, my first real engineering job was leading a QA team for my startup back in 1999.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
