Is it just me or does Firefox for Android have a memory leak?

I just use one theme and one quit button add-on, but Firefox will always end up lagging so bad that I will have to force stop it. And then I will see that I have less memory than before I opened Firefox. I have a Kyocera Hydro with Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Hi Major_Havoc, Unfortunately I do not have that Android version so I cannot test this. However the way that memory can be measured a use case would have to be formed. 

Currently the Nightly version of Firefox update more often then the stable releases of Firefox. It is on a rapid release cycle.

Also the Telementary data sent on the browsers can help improve the performance. There are also automated tests done to check performance of different platforms.

If you are interested in providing a website example this could help create a bug. for android local host builds these test can be reproduced here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/d.../Profiling_with_the_Built-in_Profiler#Profiling_Firefox_mobile


We look forward to your reply!
