memory leak on firefox

[bill]

Every time test_Dialog.html is loaded, Firefox 1.5 leaks about 500K. Not sure if it's a dojo problem or firefox problem. IE seems to be OK. (Haven't tested Safari or Konqueror)

have you tried testing with the memory leak tool, ​http://dbaron.org/log/2006-01#e20060114a

is it actually leaked? Or just allocated and then released when you navigate to a different page?

Leakage is when you keep refreshing the page and memory use *always* increases. You'll have to keep refreshing to find the right level-set to determine leakage. If one doesn't appear, you most likley have a real leak.

it's actually leaked.

When FF starts it's taking 27M. After loading test_Dialog.html is 29M. After refreshing multiple times it went to 35M. Returning to my non-dojo home page, memory usage remained at 35M.

We should really use the memory leak tool, and test whether this is us or firefox. I know they have a bunch of memory leaks in bugzilla, and I don't think any of us have had time to look into those and know what the workarounds are.
