I'm using Google Maps API v3 for my project and I can see that some serious memory leaks occur during browsing time.
I'm trying to find some kind of unload methods, for Gmap, but sadly with no results. I'm using ajax on my site, and every time I update info about markers I reload Map content. I tried doing it on Chrome and FF, same leaks on both browsers. Yesterday while working I somehow managed to reach 800MB ram for FF, that's when I noticed the problem.
Did anyone got any luck by solving this problem in v3?
Thank you for your time.
I am experiencing also severe memory leaks in V3.
I noticed they only occur in Internet Explorer (not in Chrome and not in Firefox (allthough they do use a lot of memory), thank you Microsoft), but there is little info about it on the internet.
When pressing F5 (refresh) the webpage gets reloaded and the memory is being released.
This is the only way I know of to release the memory in runtime.
Now I have to look into a way to restart from the point we pressed F5
Hope this helps.

I just installed Firefox on a new computer running Windows 8.1.
I usually use Chrome but recently I've been redesigning my website and today I tried loading it on multiple browsers to see if there were any problems.
It's a Flash games site with lots of flash ads. So when I went to my site in the new Firefox browser, I was surprised to see a lot of "plugin needed" boxes.
I tried loads of sites, and it became apparent that flash was not installed in the firefox browser at all. No Flash was loading.
Bizarrely, the grey box telling me I needed a plugin didn't give me any hint as to what plugin I needed, provided no link, and even blocked the fail-safe link to adobe that is displayed if flashplayer is not installed when using swfobject.js.
I tried searching for the flash player update in the firefox add-ons - nothing.
I tried searching on google and downloaded the general flash player update (http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/) - installed it and nothing changed.
Eventually after 20 minutes of searching, I found this obscure page on Adobe:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
I downloaded and ran the exe for 'Plugin-based browsers' and this worked.
It appears the latest version of Firefox has deliberately not included Flash Player, which is utterly mad if that's really true.
However, I can't find any discussion or documentation that this is the case. But then why wasn't it included in my version?
Does anybody know anything about this?
Firefox has never included Flash, you always need to go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer and download the Flash Plugin on your first install of Firefox. Make sure that you turn on autoupdate for Flash by using the Flash cpanel app in your Windows Control Panel. Then check regularly to make sure Flash is still autoupdating. It can have a bad habit of failing.
It's only recently that Microsoft includes Flash and only on IE on Windows 8+ as a copy of Google's attempt to increase Flash security by including it in Chrome some time back. IE gets its Flash updates through Windows Update when Microsoft gets the patches applied.
Google is the 800lb gorilla that gets what it wants and twisted Adobe's arm to force them to supply Flash code so they can do their own updates via their Pepper Flash module which updates when Chrome autoupdates.
While Mozilla will warn you that Flash is out of date, they do not have the monetary clout like huge corporations (Microsoft, Google) to force Adobe to give them source code so they can fix Adobe's security sieve as it happens.
Mozilla has chosen to promote HTML5 and open DRM to hurry the eventual demise of a piece of Macromedia Legacy web extensions that has been plaguing us with serious zero day exploits (Jan-Feb 2015 most recent) that often appear back-to-back and often get 2 try patch releases in the hope that it gets fixed.
And in that same timeframe, often Chrome and Windows 8 versions of IE have a similar lag to bug fix, though a lot quicker than Adobe.
Get in the habit manually checking Chrome's version, Chrome can suffer update failure despite its automatic update feature.
We are working on a Java EE project for some time now and recently we have experienced a problem where suddenly on some clients the pages wouldn't load.
Using firebug we saw that some Javascript resources didn't load (the attached pic) and then by testing via Wireshark we found out that Firefox doesn't send a request for these resources.
The interesting part is that after deleting the local Firefox cache on a client that page loads as normal, therefore it seems there is a problem with resources that are cached locally.
As we have never experienced this until recently could it be due to a bug in newer versions of Firefox (28+) as we have never experienced this on something like Chrome? Any help would be much appreciated
I'm having a real hard time looking for the right Firefox plugin regarding Google Bookmarks.
I tried Deng, GMarks, Fess, and all the other popular ones but I still cant bookmark my links. I seriously consider Google Bookmarks as the ultimate bookmarking tool and I've been 'google-bookmarking' ever since its very existence, in other words, I've been doing that for a very long time; at first, I used to bookmark manually and then GMarks has been working fine for a few years.
I just want a Firefox Plugin that works, one that works !!!! for Google Bookmarks; I explore possibilities of other plugins that work for a certain period of time and I have to try another one.
I have a 64-Bit Windows 7 OS with 2GB of RAM
Hope someone helps me here, thanks in advance
Ive noticed firefox has been failing on a lot of websites randomly.
I noticed while looking through the GA JS that there is a mention of Firefox but no mention of Chrome, Opera, IE etc
http://google-analytics.com/ga.js
Im wondering if any JS guru knows what the code is doing to the reference of firefox? and also whether this code could make ffox crash?
Cheers

Bringing up dead posts, but has started once more...
Mi FF 15.0 (yes Beta), started to fail TODAY on Google page, and was crashing on others since a couple of days ago.
I just simply add "google-analytics.com" to the hosts file to block it and ALL is well now.
guess that I'm staying away from google EXTRA data on my browsing habits from now on.
I had the same problem. Removing my extensions one by one, I found that it's the "Https Everywhere" extension that caused it. Its trying to call https versions of Google Analytics API.
To resolve this problem, I unchecked the "Google API" redirection rule in "Https Everywhere options".
Background
I want to access the cache of Chrome and Firefox in my Cocoa application. I need to get the HTML for pages accessed recently. Safari is a piece of cake - all this information is available in SQLite data stores, but not so in Chrome and Firefox.
The Problem
For Firefox, the cache is in /Library/Caches/Firefox/Profiles/xxx.default/Cache with filenames _CACHE_001_ _CACHE_002_ _CACHE_003_ and _CACHE_MAP_
For Chrome, the cache is in /Library/Caches/Google/Chrome/Default/Cache with filenames data_0 data_1 data_2 and data_3
What I've tried
The only article I can find that sheds any light on what format these caches are in is here. It recommends a Cache Viewer tool, but doesn't explain how one might do this programmatically.
Questions
Is there any way of reconstructing
this data using command line tools
or the Cocoa framework? Or is it
much too low level?
Is there another way of getting at
the HTML of recent web pages that I
don't know about?
The only solution I can see is that suggested by Ole above, namely to look at the code from Chrome and Firefox and work out how they encode the cache.
I've since realised this is a huge coding challenge fraught with difficulties. I'm ditching this functionality and trying a simpler way.
