It's not leaking, it just uses tons of memory. See the link I posted right before your post. It should be fixed in Firefox 41 by the way. I.e. this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77999

AdBlock does use a lot of memory, but it never seems to free that memory either. You can load up 100 web pages, then close them all and memory is still eaten. In the past I've sat and watched the browser idle with resource monitoring tools and watched it leak memory over time with AdBlock's memory use going up even though no new web pages were being accessed. So I've directly witnessed it memory leaking before.

Other extensions leak memory also and I've got another one doing so right now which I believe is "RequestPolicy Continued" which is flagged experimental. Browser's been OOM'ing ever since I installed that one, often within an hour of starting the browser. ;/

I discovered that Mozilla plans to launch official 64bit support for Firefox for Windows in the next release and that beta builds are available right now (41 beta 7 currently), so I've upgraded to the 64bit beta browser. There are some caveats which others need to consider before switching to the 64bit browser which I'll leave to people's Google skills to figure out for themselves, but none of the issues were a concern to me. So far the only one problem I've encountered is that Firefox 41 will refuse to allow unsigned extensions to run by default with no way to disable it, so 5 of my extensions including one critical one failed to load due to not being signed. Contrary to Mozilla's own documentation mentioning there is no setting in about:config to disable this in the stable nor beta version of the browser, and that it can only be disabled in the developer and nightly builds - the option to disable it DOES exist in the beta and it does work. After restarting 3 of the previously unsigned extensions got magically updated anyway, and the one that I need that got blocked is now working so hopefully they fix it properly on their end for the official release of Firefox 41 on Sept 22.

Surprisingly, I've had no other issues with the beta so far although I did anticipate more issues. I should state that my browser while loaded down heavily with extensions - is completely pluginless. No Flash, no Java, no Quicktime or any other 3rd party plugins whatsoever. People who are using any of those or Silverlight or other addons may want to do their research before considering the 64bit browser as the plugins may be disabled by default or otherwise incompatible, or may need some googling around to figure out how to get them to work. Shouldn't be an issue for any co-propellerheads. :)

The upside of Firefox 64bit at least, is that with 32GB of memory, shitty browser extensions that leak memory can now leak 29GB more RAM before the browser crashes, and long before that happens the system will start to become sluggish or behave oddly and draw attention to investigate and discover the problem and solve it on my own best time/conditions than a random poorly timed nosedive. :)

YaY! 32GB memoryleak padding! :)

I'm using 64 bit Firefox for years already. On Linux ;)

You're welcome!
Hope you still have a nice Sunday, despite (seemingly) working. :-)

You're from the "Break it!"-team then? :-)

LOL.

I'm from a similar team ;-)

Is anyone actually merging duplicates in the wishlist? I reported quite a number of them, but they still linger around. I wonder if that "report duplicate" form even notifies anyone at all.

Example (primary entry):
https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/the_neverhood

Dupes:
https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/the_neverhood_1
https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/the_neverhood_chronicles
https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/the_neverhood_1996

I don't know about that report button, but the one to report comments as spam definitely does nth, and no-one is notified about those reports; the only times spam comments got removed from wishlist entries were when a support ticket was submitted.

GOG's catalogue sorting just (?) broke :/ I wanted to look for a game for my mom (she's into old school point and click adventures with weird puzzles) and I thought I'll just have a look at GOG's older releases. So I chose "Order: By date added" and went to the last page of the catalogue. And what do I see there? Baldur's Gate 2, Far Cry, The Witcher 2... The second last page even throws a bunch of TBA titles at me -.- (btw: Starcrawlers? Seriously? Never heard of it, but... Wishlisted!)

select adventures / pre 1995 or 1995 - 2005 then by titles (ignore the titles not out yet.... >_> )

it seems to work in that way.... but you are correct for the customer there are some problems...

also many games have mutilples tags (ie : star control iii,...)

Thanks for the help, but I just used MaGog instead of GOG ;P
