Firefox memory improvements
Firefox memory improvements: Jesse Ruderman details some of the recent work on the browser. The way these optimizations were identified was straightforward: "You don't have to be a C++ programmer to help find leaks in Firefox. If you're a Firefox user, an easy way to help is to browse with a trunk nightly build wrapped in a script that calls leak-gauge.pl when Firefox exits. If it reports that documents or windows leaked, try to figure out how to reproduce the leak and then file a bug report." (I got here while trying to research a reported Reader vulnerability... I checked with the Adobe security team earlier today and they were already working on it, but I'm still not sure in which environments it appears... info will appear at Player security.)
