Hey all,

Is Firebug a bit of a memory hog when you run it for a while? Or is it just Firefox? I kinda get to the point where my firefox is using 1 Gb of memory and everything just slows down.

Has anyone found a solution for this?

EDIT I am running the latest and greatest versions of both.

EDIT I suppose there is no real answer to this, but it would be good if people share their tips and tricks on reducing the imapact of growing memory footprint. Community wiki now.

It's Firefox and it's a feature.

Seems a lot snappier, looks like it's as good as it gets. I think this is as much of an answer as I'd ever get.
