There's a known memory leak issue with firefox. I think it was fixed in 1.0, although I can't remember if this was fixed in 1.0.7... I don't think it was. But I could be wrong.

I had a similar problem with Firefox 1.0.7 on Suse 10, but I upgraded to 1.5 and it seems to work a lot better.

Thx i have installed Friefox 1.5 but still it consumes lot of cpu... I dont know why.. Let me ilustrate it a little more when i use the menu File-Edit-View-Go it nees more than 2 secs for the menu to appear.. Not only this but moving from one tab to another needs also more than 2 secs.. It is really annoying and makes my web experience even worse.... Any suggestion?
At first i have thought it was a java problem so i have use jre_1_5_0 but still same shit..
