Anyone with memory problem with Firefox? My FF is currently using 2G memory while I only have 13 tabs opened and most of them are just plain simple pages. I am sure it will keep sucking up memory until I do restart. This problem is not new. Is there a memory leak problem with FF?

If Google didn't buckle like a house of cards on this. I wonder where we'd be? arg.

Sounds like a rogue addon. You could try disabling them and seeing if that helps?

#34As a developer, it would just peachy if they'd start supporting HTML5 input elements.

There has been for a very long time. However, now after the image rendering changes in 26, I believe most of the issues now should be related to various plugins and add-ons.

I don't think that's a good thing for the open web.
:'(
Then again I do like that I can watch more YouTube Videos in a reasonable resolution now. Most webm transcodes are just available in low quality.

#37I have a silly request, can timings on Network tab be displayed on mouse hover? I hate having to click to measure which part took much time? This is @Mozilla Web inspector
I think bugzilla, mailinglists and irc channels might be better places to request a feature request than a comment on hacker news.
I got no clue how to get to Bugzilla. I made other bug request, but I have no idea where those went (It was one of those Feedback sites for Mozilla with I have an idea, etc.)

What are the appropriate plugins and how do I find out if I have them? I have an Intel card and normally use mplayer-vaapi[1] to get hardware acceleration for decoding. [1] https://launchpad.net/~sander-vangrieken/+archive/vaapi
At a minimum you'll need gstreamer1.0 and gst-plugins-ugly[1]. Perhaps gst-libav[2] would be an alternative to plugins-ugly.
OT: Check out http://mpv.io/. It's a forked mplayer2 with native support for libva:
mpv --hwdec=vaapi --vo=vaapi

No addon. It's new install on a fresh new machine.
