Hi, I'm using Firefox and Flash Player 9.0.28.0 on WinXP. When a web page
containing flash content is open for some time the memory consumption of
firefox.exe slowly increases. Is this a issue with Firefox or Flash Player?
Does this happen with other browser/ platform?

Is it a particular web page (or pages)? Can you please post URL links to
it/them so we can see?

Or perhaps you can try other browsers yourself (there ar eseveral around,
all free, that are easy to install and try.

I have a similar configuration and I'm having a similar problem, except that
instead of a slow leak, I have a gusher! My CPU utilization goes to nearly
100% when I open a page that has a number of the following objects:

object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"

This problem exists in both Firefox 1.5 and even worse in IE7.

The pages that I'm accessing require a paid subscription so posting the URL's
won't help. If there's a free page available somewhere for testing, that would
be a good starting point. I've found that if there's only a few controls, then
the CPU utilization is not so bad. When there's a dozen or so such objects on
the page, then my notebook is tanked.

I'm running a Pentium M with 2 GB or RAM, XP with SP2.

I wouldn't define the problem as a memory leak because when the page is
closed, the CPU utilization goes down to normal, so memory is being released.
But when the page is open, my normally robust notebook doesn't have a free CPU
cycle and appears to be on its last gasp.
