beatthegmat.com has memory leak problem on Firefox 7 and 8. Issue is reproducible on Windows and Ubuntu equally.

Check the attached screenshot.

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. :D
