What is firefox "memory leaks"?
Is it another term for "memory usage"?
And how to reduce those memory leaks?
Solution:
Memory leak in firefox was a bug in version 1.xx of the browser. The term "memory leak" is a bit of a misnomer as it has nothing to do with any leak. What actually happens is that firefox fails to free the virtual memory it is no longer using for other internal purposes, hence the memory usage piles up. It has been mostly fixed in version 2.xx of the browser.
How to fix it? Simple, upgrade to version 2.0+. If you still get trouble, install something like sessions manager extension.
Ideally firefox should be using between 100 to 300 K of your PC's RAM. If you see it using more than that, then it is a leak and u gotta get a "plumber" really fast.
