Ram draining #5

Great addons, sadly it drains ram. For example, if you leave at evening with firefox using 687M of ram, at morning you find firefox using 1387M of ram :( . Disabling addons solve the problem.

It's almost as bad as Google Earth. That's not the main problem (RAM). Here Prostetnic Highlighter ONLY works out of an Administrative Account so we consider it totally unusable. When it did work out of a User Account (Windows 8.1) it was a great Add-on. Was it just too good? Anyway there doesn't seem to be recognition that this is a problem since there has been no feedback from the developer. She states that she doesn't have a "Windows box", so there are no expectations that this will ever be fixed. It is understood that there is a cost involved in the development, in this case obtaining what is required either through a university lab or friends and colleagues. Does the developer realize the potential value of this app as a tool of enrichment?
