I've had similar symptoms while running iceweasel. We all know firefox/iceweasl has leaks, but in the past only it's process grew in memory footprint.
For the past few weeks, I leave it open overnight on a site that auto-refreshes, both the iceweasl and X processes grow in memory use. Within 12 hours, all the 1G of RAM on my laptop will be used up. A good site that triggers this behaviour is http://www.theage.com.au, my local newspapers page. There's a fair few flash objects on there, and in these situations I usually blame that, but I have no proof. -- James Healy <jimmy-at-deefa-dot-com> Thu, 01 Nov 2007 21:58:06 +1100
