When visiting the website cycletrader.com Firefox goes into an seemingly infinite memory grab. Memory usage increases constantly. While typing a message I watched usage go from 200m to 1.2g and it was till increasing until I shut firefox down.

IE used 100m and never went higher for same exact page.

I discovered something, at first firefox leaked and went from 250 mb of memory to 550 mb after 5 mins of loading the page. I saw it kept connecting to gigya.com so i thought it was a tracker. I installed Ghostery (checking all cookies etc. at setup) and the leak went in the tank, it is at 330 mb and the page has been loaded for 5 mins (with same tabs due to reset).

I think it is AdBlock Plus that is causing an issue. If I visit Cycletrader with it disabled it does not cause a memory issue

Try removing AdBlock Plus and download Simple AdBlock

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/simple-adblock/

This may fix the problem.
