Firefox Memory consumption #490

Closed jeanrenaud closed 3 years ago

jeanrenaud commented 4 years ago

The circuitjs1 applet consumes a never-ending increasing memory space in Firefox 81.0b4 (64 bits). I reach like 3 GB in a couple of minutes, then everything starts to hang, i have to close and reopen the browser (after exporting circuit data before it is too late).

It happens even with the default circuit shown at page loading. Just reloading the page does not free the memory. A browser close and reopen is necessary.

Nothing special happens in the most recent version of MS Edge. A steady 250 MB.

And it worked fine in earlier releases? You should report this to the firefox people.

I can't remember about previous versions, i was using another browser before, and did not kept history about performance of the applet through time. Thanks anyway. Probably some kind of bad garbage collector.

I tried this with 81.0b4 on a mac and didn't notice any memory issues. I will try on windows.

I use Firefox as my main browser adn there doesn't seem to be an issue currently.
