Seems to have a big memory leak.... an old favorite of FF. I'm restarting FF once or twice a day because it is slow to respond and had a big memory footprint.

When I start firefox I go to my bookmarks, click on a folder and then click open in all tabs to open 7 tabs. For the last several months these tabs aren't loading for me most of the time. I then have to close the browser and open the browser then click menu - restore preivious session and then click each individual tab to get them to open. Has anyone else had this issue?

Yes. I'm having the slow page loads happening all of a sudden after the last 1 or 2 updates even with just 6 tabs open, I notice it most on youtube. Restarting in safe mode(hold ctrl key) and then back again normally fixes the issue as a workaround.

Thanks. For me it's only after startup with a clean browser. If I close the browser during that session then reopen later and restore the tabs I had open it works fine.

I haven not seen that myself. Maybe it's a profile issue and creating a new FF profile could fix it, or possibly disabling an addon?

Don't think its an addon/profile issue. Its probably a memory leak since restarting seems to fix it for a while.

Blowing off a profile is a total PIA. I only run 3 add-ons, Adblock, NoScript, and Lastpass. Typically no more than 6 tabs open.

Did delete the profile.... some effect, still memory footprint keeps growing.

I know, I have done it before myself. Maybe look into logging in with a firefox and syncing your info? I've found that very useful in the past.

Anyway, the next version is out now so hopefully that will fix the memory leak.
