    We seem to have an unexplained problem on Mac OS x with memory use climbing rapidly until within a few minutes it hangs. This is apparently seen with no add-ons or plugins. It is something that Noah_SUMO is looking into with developer assistance. This is apparently seen in Fx21 and earlier and is even worse in Fx22

    If you are able to reproduce this yourself or come across someone who can maybe you would lend a hand.

    More details in my mega-post

    Maybe not many people are seeing this. It now has a bug.
