You're threadjacking my topic. ForecastFox is irrelevant to my problem.smsmith wrote:I recently identified an issue with Forecastfox (fixed version). The author claims it was fixed in v1.14, but I was still seeing abnormal usage with it. Have that one installed?
And by abnormal, I mean each page load was adding 400 to 500 MB to my memory usage and it was taking quite a while for that memory to be released. It would regularly lock up the browser and the machine.

Re: FF memory keeps growing
So I'm testing my extensions, starting with the last ones updated in my profile. But one is identified only with an alphanumeric string, and I don't know what it is.DanRaisch wrote:Certainly those are differences between the two profiles, but they would not effect memory usage in the way you observed, increasing periodically during a given session.There are other differences, number of bookmarks, 1400 to about 100. Probably amount of history saved.

Sorry, LoveMyFoxy, for the threadjack.
That appears it might be multirow bookmarks.

Re: FF memory keeps growing
That's like magic. Is there a master list somewhere?

Re: FF memory keeps growing
No list I'm aware of but my usual trick is to 'google' the number string including the brackets... that will generally give the name of the addon.LoveMyFoxy wrote:That's like magic. Is there a master list somewhere?

That's exactly what I did. Put it in the old google machine.

Re: FF memory keeps growing
Actually, they are not. They were identifying possible causes of your problem by noting an extension that was problematic for them.You're threadjacking my topic. ForecastFox is irrelevant to my problem.
