Memory consumption - Firefox
My Firefox, with a moderate numer of tabs (4-5) open and the Zotero plug-in (and nothing else) installed gradually eats up memory. This goes on to the point that it becomes unresponsive or freezes.
Firefox always points to third party plugins. From a scan of the posts here the impression is that Zotero should not lead to this problem. Has this been actually tested by developers (i.e., comparing the memory consumptions of a clean install of Firefox with one with a reasonable sized Zotero database etc. installed?).
I am getting a bit tired of everyone pointing the finger from their corner. Firefox is known for these problems but it would be usefult to have a Zotero take on this.

The Firefox issue has been an absolute pain and the reason I stopped using the browser for a while. Opening Firefox and then coming back to a half dead computer and a non functioning browser is a huge irritant. Chrome also become unresponsive with all the Google functionality. I just want a stable browser :)
I am hoping Zotero would be more active in terms of planning to test this issue so that, if needs be, the issue can be dumped fair and square on Firefox's table.
