Firefox Memory Leak
Hi, my Firefox (the latest public version 2.0.0.1) is leaking memory. I know that you think you’ve heard this before and that it’s extensions, or old version, but seriously this has to stop:

Yup, it’s using 623MB of memory. Opening a new tab is visibly sluggish. Closing a tab, clicking on links–every action takes seconds to perform on my Core Duo 2 6600 processor with 4 GB of RAM. Extensions? I’m running two: Firebug and an S3 attachment:
The secret Firefox memory cache page (about:cache) returns nothing out of the ordinary:
Number of entries: 1114
Maximum storage size: 28672 KiB
Storage in use: 75316 KiB
Inactive storage: 0 KiB
I have no idea what’s causing this behavior, so I’m going to ask for help. Digg this and let the world know Firefox *still* has memory management issues.

Chase Bank Online Error
I just got the following error from Chase Bank:
We were unable to process your change. General MQ error (2007)
On the one hand, the errors are scary. On the other hand, I’m thrilled that JP Morgan Chase Bank One and Co. are using IBM’s Websphere MQ for reliable transmission of my account information!
