Do you the root cause ? Since the diagram use Flash, so I guess the problem is caused by Flash. Or the programmer write bad source to lead to memory leak.

Thank you for your help at first !

Even if I disable "Turn off hardware acceleration", the memory still increase after I open http://finance.sina.com.cn. So I enable "hardware acceleration" again. Moreover, I use Opera(latest version) to open the http link, the memory still increase too. So I think the script in the web paper has memory leak.

I use "Simple China version" of FF (16.0.2).

Following is my configuration(Some title is in Chinese):

Can you see a cause on the about:memory page?

Does it help to click the Minimize memory usage button at the bottom of that page.


The Flash plugin uses the plugin-container process, so any problems with Flash should affect the memory usage of that process.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Thank you !

Even if disable both "hardware acceleration" and "start FF in safe mode", the memory of FF is still increasing while I access http://finance.sina.com.cn (the web site shows realtime stock diagram). Memory does not increase while I access other web site. I install official FF 16.02 Simple Chinese version. So I think the web site has memory leak in their Flash Script.
