These panels update automatically at set periods of time. mozilla leaks badly and if a browser window is left open over night will 'grow' to 500mb of memory and become unusable on my system. using the nightly test extensions built in leak-gauge Summary Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20060320 Firefox/2.0a1 ID:2006032010 Session ended Tuesday, 21 March 2006 4:40:32 PM Leaked 102 out of 392 DOM windows Leaked 111 out of 588 documents Leaked 23 out of 117 docshells Details Leaked document at address 3dbfff0. ... with URI "http://www.netvibes.com/xmlProxy.php?url=http%3A//www.quirksmode.org/blog/index.xml".

Could be happening because of bug 206520. But the only way to find out for sure is to have a simple testcase that shows the leak.

trying to track this down better. relivant javascript files (i think) http://netvibes.com/modules/rssReader/rssReader.js http://www.netvibes.com/js/App.js in App.js var proxyURL = NV_PATH+'xmlProxy.php?url='; var Request = new Object(); Request.send = function(url, method, callback, data, urlencoded) { var req; if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { req = new XMLHttpRequest(); } else if (window.ActiveXObject) { req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } req.onreadystatechange = function() { if (req.readyState == 4) {// only if req shows "loaded" if (req.status < 400) {// only if "OK" (method=="POST") ? callback(req) : callback(req,data); } else { alert("There was a problem loading data :\n" + req.status+ "/" + req.statusText); } } } if (method=="POST") { req.open("POST", url, true); if (urlencoded) req.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'); req.send(data); } else { req.open("GET", url, true); req.send(null); } return req; } Request.sendRawPOST = function(url, data, callback) { Request.send(url, "POST", callback, data, false); } Request.sendPOST = function(url, data, callback) { Request.send(url, "POST", callback, data, true); } Request.sendGET = function(url, callback, args) { return Request.send(url, "GET", callback, args); } then each feed is called with Request.sendGET(proxyURL+escape(feedUrl), checkFeed); i guess waiting for the fix for 321054 to be checked in.
Could you retest in tomorrow's trunk build? If it still exists, leak-monitor ( http://dbaron.org/mozilla/leak-monitor ) may provide some useful information.
I still leak 1 document and 1 window after having visited vibes.com with the 2006-05-26 trunk build.
