How do I report a major memory leak problem with Firefox 3.6.10 in WinXP?

After I installed Firefox 3.6.9 on a WinXP desktop, I occasionally had minor memory leak problems, reflected by getting "out of virtual memory" messages. I upgraded to 3.6.10 when notified that it was available and that it supposedly fixed stability problems. Ever since then, whenever I use Firefox, it starts out quick as a flash, but very rapidly slows down to a crawl, and has twice brought my system to a halt. IE does not cause this, nor any other program I use, but the execution speed of all programs slows as badly as Firefox. If I knew where to get older versions, I would back up to 3.6.9 or earlier. The situation now prevents me from using Firefox much at all.

Im running windows 7, Firefox 3.6.10 and before i updated to 3.6.10 my CPU never went above 10% with Firefox open. Now it can spike well above 50% and i have nothing different from when i had 3.6.9 to now when i have 3.6.10.
There is no evidence for me to suggest one of the additions i have is causing it, its all pointing to Firefox itself and the last update.

How can I address a memory leak problem with Firefox?

I have happily used Firefox for the past 7 years, and have rarely had difficulties. However, I am having some trouble now; Firefox (running 3.6.6) seems to have a memory leak on my machine. It's slower than what was discussed in other forum posts, but it still scales up slowly to multiple hundred MBs of Memory with very little CPU usage.
I have tried disabling add-ons and extensions, but this does not stop the problem. I have cleared my cache and other stored data, but that also does not help. Has anyone experienced a similar problem that might be able to help?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== within last two weeks

Hi reble0708,
I have Java console disabled on my Firefox browser.Everything is working fine for me. There maybe other problem on your browser which is making PDF document faded and blurry. Can you post the link where you found the problem viewing the PDF document?
Btw, you can go to ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ and select the previous version of Firefox from the given options. There's no need to uninstall Firefox before you downgrade to the previous version of it.But before new installation, backup your Firefox profile folder.

Memory leak problems with loading videos over and over.

I'm having memory leak problems with loading videos into a VideoPlayer aswell as FLVPlayback.
What the flash should do:
- Should be running for 7 days without having to restart the projector.
- Interface that shows people around a 360 3D model with 5 different parts and at the stops it makes during the rotation you can click to zoom in on a location which plays a movie for that aswell.
- Shows a video out of 5 parts for a 360 rotation in 3D in mp4 video (added each time and cleaned up, see code below).
- Still images are used when the video clips are done playing (MovieClip in stage).
- Should run automatically when there is no user interaction for X minutes.
What the problem is:
- The flash (as a exe and swf i guess) starts to consume memory over time (say 10 hours) until the projector crashes. This usually at around 1.75 GB of memory.
I cannot see why the Flash cannot garbage collect this and free up the memory. Mabye there is something I don't understand about the garbage collection in flash?
Here is some code from the video loading and playing:
var fVideo:VideoPlayer;
VideoCreate();
function VideoReady(pEvent:VideoEvent):void
trace("VideoReady()");
     // start playing video
fVideo.play();
function VideoLoad(pUrl:String):void
     trace("VideoLoad(" + pUrl +
     VideoCreate();
     if (pUrl != "")
          if (fVideoFolder + pUrl == fVideo.source)
               fVideo.seek(0);
VideoReady(null);
          } else {
trace(fVideo.state);
               if (fVideo.state !=
VideoState.DISCONNECTED) fVideo.stop();
fVideo.close();
fVideo.load(fVideoFolder + pUrl);
     } else {
// error no url
function VideoCreate():void
     trace("VideoCreate()");
     // remove old one
     if (getChildAt(0) == fVideo)
          removeChildAt(0);
     fVideo = new
VideoPlayer(1024, 768);
     addChildAt(fVideo, 0);
     fVideo.autoRewind = false;
fVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, VideoDonePlaying);
fVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.READY, VideoReady);

Hmm. It's in connection with Dropbox. Så apparantly you can only use one of the two at the same time if you want the programs integrated in Finder.

How can I avoid memory leak problem ?

I use Jdev 10.1.2 . I have a memory leak problem with ADF .
My application is very large . We have at least 30 application module , each application module contain many view object
and I have to support a lot of concurrent users .
as I know ADF stored data of view object in http session .
and http session live is quite long . when I use application for a while It raise Ouf of Memory error .
I am new for ADF.
I try to use clearCache() on view object when I don't use it any more .
and call resetState() when I don't use Application Module any more
I don't know much about behavior of clearCache() and resetState() .
I am not sure that It can avoid memory leak or not .
Do you have suggestion to avoid this problem ?

ADF does not store data in the HTTP session.
See Chapter 28 "Application Module State Management" in the ADF Developer's Guide for Forms/4GL Developers on the ADF Learning Center at http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/B25947_01/toc.htm for more information.
See Chapter 29 "Understanding Application Module Pooling" to learn how you can tune the pooling parameters to control how many modules are used and how many modules "hang around" for what periods of time.

Memory Leak Problem at Adobe LiveCycle Server 9.0

Hi All,
We want to upgrade our system to 9.0. During the performance test we have found memory Leak problem at ALS 9.0. I explain the detailed problematic issue below. Is there any body who has any suggest?
We have Adobe Livecycle ES2 9.0 SP2 installed on WAS 6.1. But also WAS on Windows Server 2008 R2. We call java web services from .Net Web service for generating PDFs.
On Java side “com/adobe/internal/pdftoolkit/services/javascript/GibsonMemoryTracking” class is causing Memory Leak problem at server.
Our .Net Codes. I copied below. First we generate PDF then we convert this pdf to static pdf.
First We call the GeneratePDF function.
public static bool GeneratePdf(Document document, byte[] pdfTemplate)
        try
            //Create a FormDataIntegrationService object and set authentication values
            FormDataIntegrationService formDataIntegrationClient = new FormDataIntegrationService();
            formDataIntegrationClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(Settings.ALCUserName, Settings.ALCPassword);
            //Import XDP XML data into an XFA PDF document
            ALCFormDataIntegrationService.BLOB inXMLData = new ALCFormDataIntegrationService.BLOB();
            //Populate the BLOB object
            inXMLData.binaryData = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(document.XmlData);
            //Create a BLOB that represents the input PDF form
            ALCFormDataIntegrationService.BLOB inPDFForm = new ALCFormDataIntegrationService.BLOB();
            inPDFForm.binaryData = pdfTemplate;
            //Import data into the PDF form
            ALCFormDataIntegrationService.BLOB results = formDataIntegrationClient.importData(inPDFForm, inXMLData);
            document.PdfData = results.binaryData;
            Utility.Log("GeneratePdf", "Pdf generated successfully.", LogLevel.Info);
            return true;
        catch (Exception ex)
            document.ReturnCode = "22";
            document.ReturnMsg = "Exception on generating the pdf";
            Utility.Log("GeneratePdf", "Exception: " + ex.Message, LogLevel.Error);
            return false;
Then We call the ConvertPDF function.
public static bool ConvertPdf(Document document)
        try
            //Create a OutputServiceService object
            OutputServiceService outputClient = new OutputServiceService();
            outputClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(Settings.ALCUserName, Settings.ALCPassword);
            //Create a BLOB object
            ALCOutputService.BLOB inData = new ALCOutputService.BLOB();
            //Populate the BLOB object
            inData.binaryData = document.PdfData;
            //Set rendering run-time options
            RenderOptionsSpec renderOptions = new RenderOptionsSpec();
            renderOptions.cacheEnabled = true;
            //Create a non-interactive PDF document
            ALCOutputService.BLOB results = outputClient.transformPDF(inData, TransformationFormat.PDF, PDFARevisionNumber.Revision_1, false, null, PDFAConformance.B, false);
            document.PdfData = results.binaryData;
            Utility.Log("ConvertPdf", "Pdf converted successfully.", LogLevel.Info);
            return true;
        catch (Exception ex)
            document.ReturnCode = "22";
            document.ReturnMsg = "Exception on converting dynamic pdf to static pdf";
            Utility.Log("ConvertPdf", "Exception: " + ex.Message, LogLevel.Error);
            return false;

Hi Mahir,
Can you attach the results of this performance test where we can see how GibsonMemoryTracking class is causing the memory leak issue.
Also do you see any stackTrace in the LiveCycle server logs related to memory / heap when you run this performance test ?
Thanks,

Memory leak problem while passing Object to stored procedure from C++ code

Hi,
I am facing memory leak problem while passing object to oracle stored procedure from C++ code.Here I am writing brief description of the code :
1) created objects in oracle with the help of "create or replace type as objects"
2) generated C++ classes corresponding to oracle objects with the help of OTT utility.
3) Instantiating classes in C++ code and assigning values.
4) calling oracle stored procedure and setting object in statement with the help of setObject function.
5) deleted objects.
this is all I am doing ,and getting memory leak , if you need the sample code then please write your e-mail id , so that I can attach files in reply.
TIA
Jagendra

just to correct my previous reply , adding delete statement
Hi,
I am using oracle 10.2.0.1 and compiling the code with Sun Studio 11, following is the brief dicription of my code :
1) create oracle object :
create or replace type TEST_OBJECT as object
( field1 number(10),
field2 number(10),
field3 number(10) )
2) create table :
create table TEST_TABLE (
f1 number(10),f2 number (10),f3 number (10))
3) create procedure :
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE testProc
data IN test_object)
IS
BEGIN
insert into TEST_TABLE( f1,f2,f3) values ( data.field1,data.field2,data.field3);
commit;
end;
4) generate C++ classes along with map file for database object TEST_OBJECT by using Oracle OTT Utility
5) C++ code :
// include OTT generate files here and other required header files
int main()
int x = 0;
int y = 0;
int z =0;
Environment *env = Environment::createEnvironment(Environment::DEFAULT);
Connection* const pConn =

const string sqlStmt("BEGIN testProc(:1) END;");
Statement * pStmt = pConn->createStatement(sqlStmt);
while(1)
TEST_OBJECT* pObj = new TEST_OBJECT();
pObj->field1 = x++;
pObj->field2 = y++;
pObj->field3 = z++;
pStmt->setObject(1,pObj);
pStmt->executeUpdate();

In this time wen i open a picture in inbuilt PicEditor this Memory full Error occurs(And sometimes while zooming a picture in gallery also). Will updating to the new FW according to my product code 0543843 is 4.0812.4.2.1 will solve the Memory leak problem ? i have gone through all the post regarding the issues on latest firmware updates Good & Bad. So im a bit confused that shud i update or not. Coz i have only this memory problem. Everything else is fine.
Please help me.

I have 4.0812.4.2.1 and I have the same problem..I think that in 4.0736 is best memory usage than other firmwares,but I can't downgrade firmware

Since the itunes 10.4.1 update I have memory leaks problems.

Since the itunes 10.4.1 update I have memory leaks problems, Itunes used memory start at about 100 megs as usual but when it play the ram usage climb about 4 kb per second ( one time I had itunes using 690 megs !). I had to periodically close and restart Itunes to clear the memory.
Someone has suggestion to resolve this problem?

Same issue, Running Windows 7 x64 with 6 Gigs of RAM and have iTunes 10.4.1 32bit version.
I wanted to break in some headphones over the weekend, so left it playing a loop of songs. Came back on Monday to see my machine using a huge amount of RAM and iTunes just froze.
Here is a shot of my Task Manager showing iTunes was using 1.5gigs of Memory.

App-V 5.0 memory leak problem & slow program launch

App-V 5 clients with most recent updates have a memory leak problem. Windows 7 64bit workstations with 8GB of memory will be useless within couple of days because memory has run out. Terminating App-V client process will free the memory, but system starts
to consume it again after that. All hotfixes (up to 5) have been installed.
Another problem is that launching some large (locally cached) programs, for example SolidWorks, takes many minutes for a program to start. With 4.6 there wasn't any performance issues.
Any suggestions?

I saw the exact same issue with slow load times and 50% utilization by AppVClient.exe during that time.
AppV 5 first launch application performance
AppV 5 - Measuring RegistryStaging load times
The issue, specifically, is the amount of time the application takes to stage the registry is what causes the slow load and 50% CPU utilization. I've written a script that stages the registry on your behalf that we use on server startup, after all
the packages are loaded.

Memory leak problem, help!

There is memory leak problem when select multi-rows table. Suppose that I don't make mistake when coding. Have U ever use Borland Delphi? In TQuery, there a field called UniDirectional when set it to True, selected rows aren't cached in Memory. So that There is must be a parameter in OCI does like UniDirectional does. There is any one know about it? reply this question or mail me directly at [email protected]
Thank in advance.

Flash cause Memory leak problem under IE

I have encountered a problem when running a flash with
countdown scripts inside under IE.
The IE in memory will become bigger and bigger and IE will
finally eat up 50% of my processing time.
My script cannot be officially go online of this problem.
Similar flash by other with the same problem in IE:
http://www.zsg.com/
*** additional info: the leak will reset if the browser is
being minimized.
Can any one help?
Thanks a lot!
P.S My countdown script play no problem with Firefox 2.0.0.14
Flash player 9.124.0
IE version 7.0.5730.13
OS: Win XP with SP2
My scripts is just a simple onEnterFrame with calculation
inside until the difference between current time and target time is
<=0(target time - difference time)
Thanks a lot!

Which process is not releasing memory? Which thread within that process? What do the process monitoring programs from Technet/SysInternals (see
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb795533.aspx ) show about the memory that is not being released?
There may be memory leaks in Coded UI but more likely the leaks are in the test cases and the way they use Coded UI. I think you need to do some more investigation and show its results before getting much more than just general advice here.

I want to remove an add on becauase I've been having problems with FIrefox locking up since I installed. How the heck does one remove an add-on. I hate to be stupid but I cannot figure out how to uninstall an add on

I've been having problems with Firefox 4.0 locking up pretty much since I installed it. I did add a few add-ons and all I can think of to do is to remove them. I can't figure out how to get rid of them.

Well, When I click on Add-ons I don't get a list of add-ons. AN Add-ons tab opens which shows lots of other great add-ons but I can't get a list os ones that I've installed and have no option to remove. I'm on version 4.0. Maybe the "remove" as described is for an earlier version?
Nevermind, figured it out. Had to click on "Extensions" on the left side of the page to get the list
Thanks

I just heard a news report that there is a problem with malware in mac computers that came through a recent java update. Is this true? If so, what should be done about it?

I just heard a news report that there is a problem with malware in mac computers that came through a recent java update. Is this true? If so, what should be done about it?

As usual those "news" reports mangled the facts and got most of the story completely wrong. This particular attack did not arise through a Java update, it was distributed through a fraudulent Flash download popup window, or malicious websites that Safari is designed to block.
If you run Java on your Mac you may be vulnerable to this malware. If you do not run Java there is no risk. If you routinely keep your Mac up to date with Software Update the risk is greatly reduced.
Shut off the mass market junk that masquerades as "news" and read this to learn some real facts:

I am having major problems with Firefox. About 3 weeks ago I started experiencing the display only when on Firefox for all web site, that the display would be shifted right about half a screen. It only happens on Firefox and happens for all web sites.

This issue can be caused by the Babylon Toolbar 1.1.8 extension
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Version 23.0 on Windows 7 64 bit has major memory leak issues, how do I fix or revert to version 22?

Upon updating to version 23.0.1, the memory usage on Firefox routinely runs over 1GB and eventually causes me to restart the application. This is directly linked to an upgrade in August to version 23.0.1, I would like to either downgrade or fix the problem with 23. IF this is an issue with plug-ins, how do I determine that? My problem is that this only started occurring after I installed version 23, so I have to assume it was caused by that and not by some plug in as those have not changed.
Was the application regression tested against all plug-ins to ensure these issues did not occur?

Hello,
The first thing I suggest is updating your Firefox to v24 (the latest version). Every new version of Firefox brings bug fixes and security updates. It maybe that whatever is causing high RAM usage will be solved by the update.
[[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
If you find that the problem is still occurring in v24 then please see the support article here:
[[Firefox uses too much memory (RAM) - How to fix]]
This has various tips on diagnosing and fixing high RAM usage issues.
I particularly suggest that you try:
* Updating plugins
* Checking your extensions and themes to see if any of these are to blame
* Trying the memory troubleshooting tools (about:memory)
I hope that helps. Let me know if not.
