Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
I thought that Ubuntu would solve all of my windows problems, like how Firefox eats up 400+ MB of memory and then refuses to release it. I guess even in Ubuntu Firefox still stinks.. It really needs to do a better job of handling persistent usage.... I'm sorry but I don't want to restart my computer every time I'm done using the internet.. If firefox can't release memory, godspeed to google chrome on ubuntu.
