    I wanted to investigate this today, but don't know how to display this screen in Firefox. If I enter "about:addons-memory" it only gives me an error.

    Hi Greg!
     
    Sorry forgot to mention. You will require another addon to see that. :)

    Did you open maybe a lot of tabs in Firefox? I see that the plugin takes about 6.5 MB memory when first started with just one tab opened. It then adds about 0.5 MB per each tab open, but releases that memory when the tab is closed. I don't see any place in the code I wrote to leak memory - it's all JavaScript, which is supposed to release memory itself as the object are no longer used or referenced.
