Mozilla also claimed that it has fixed more than 300 individual memory leaks
and added a new cycle collector to eliminate other memory issues. Firefox
has a reputation for leaking memory consuming large quantities the longer
it's left running, and ultimate slowing down its host computer although some
of its developers have contested the claims, and even pegged the problem as
one of perception.

300 memory leaks?  If they say so.

Anyway,  Firefox and memory leaks
came up in this group recently.  Apparently
it will get fixed.

I see the leaks, which depend on the
number of windows open and the web
sites being displayed.  I've see it wedge
the display.
