Does anybody with adblock plus notice a memory leak? IT is not noticeable at first, but Firefox eventually climbs after surfing a while to 300 megs not including the plug in container when Adblock plus is enabled.

Easiest way to reproduce it is to visit Gawkers Media blogs.  The more pages you visit the more firefox leaks.  And yes, I have tried safe mode, new profiles, etc etc, and I have isolated it to adbock plus.  

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Try posting at the Adblock Plus forum, where the developer seems very attentive to concerns like that. http://adblockplus.org/forum/
