Memory leaks when watching video full screen
When ever i watch videos i get memory leak, if that's the right word to call it, to avoid video lags i new use only 1 video Tab & not 2 like in the past, its just some sources are slow with loading, that why i use to use 2, awry time i click on next EP memory usage grows & awry time i click on full-screen it grows even more & larger number, depending source, some sources use RAM & some committed memory (but with both memory usage grows with each video), so far anime sources use committed & TV series sources ram, also there was talk that Firefox 36 will be free of Flash, that it goes over to HTML5, but i still see flash in my plugins & also all videos still use flash, with anime ram usage increases to a bit, but not as much as with TV series sources, when will the memory leak be fixed?
EDIT:
lets just say it leaks memory when watching videos, its just worse in full screen, with TV series it doesn't matter full screen or not, still takes a lot of ram, well in the end of the day its a lot, starts from over 300MB & grows, some sources leak ram & some committed
all my adds, its for extra information
Adblock Edge, Enforce Encryption, Ghostery , More In Content UI +.
this are not known as problem creators, just in case some1 thinks i mite have bad adds

this thing https://fud.community.services.support.microsoft.com/Fud/FileDownloadHandler.ashx?fid=fad8f83d-f547-485d-8f7f-7dd6f86499d0 & newer post disappearing & reappearing after closing this page & then opening this page again a bit later continues almost impossible to edit post, PLZ tell me its just this page bug or Moderators are working on it, like small maintenance what does not make server go offline, it would be pain in the ass if it would be another fox problem

with flash i have memory leak & wen it comes to youtube then with HTML5 i have issues to, here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1050685, flash is still needed, cause animes on anime sites won't play with HTML5, in youtube i ended up swishing back to flash, for a love of god, when will this issues be fixed, i remember old fox 20+ & older flash in my old PC & no issues, i feel like flash & fox should roll back unless it causes conflict with newer software & OS, in old fox how much memory was used depended on how meany tabs i had opened & if i had 3 tab total & i watched video with 1 of the 3 tabs memory usage did not grow with each video, it remained same 40MB-60MB, i remember old fox using less then 100MB, so memory usage growing with each video is not normal, i'm disappointed that fox has gone downhill
Rolling back is always a bad idea.
No idea whether this will be a Firefox or a FlashPlayer issue. If you run Firefox with all other plugins disabled and in Firefox's safemode, and then use only one site do you still see a memory leak ?

dunno & don't want to lower my security, cause not only plugins will be disabled, also my 3 security adds will be disabled
i haven't used full screen a week & that reduces the issue a lot, max memory with day, from 240MB-460MB (max 540 sometimes), with full screen its 240-700, with waterfox 340-1,4GB, with waterfox it started to have small 1sec-2sec crashes at 1,4GB, with firefox it has not reached a crash point yet, but when memory just grows like that with out releasing, with out going pack to 240 after closing video tab then it feels like something is wrong, with 1 video tab - bookmarks opened in tab & 1 simple page opened, 3 tabs total is around 220-260, it grows with next video i chose, i even have looked adds that should help, but looking at peoples comments they do not work, at least not the way they should or like user expects them to work
BDW its strange, this: https://fud.community.services.support.microsoft.com/Fud/FileDownloadHandler.ashx?fid=b2680c89-d8e2-4608-a0b5-ce7a3bd221b3 is it youtube issue or fox issue? its not big deal cause despite that flash works, no matter is that icon there or not, for some reason i can't open this link in new tap, i did copy image location, in past it opened image in new tab, but new it wants to download it, is it cause of new Ver of firefox or Ublocker? maybe Ublocker prevents that function? i went over to Uplocker cause i heard its better then Addblock Edge, & lighter with memory, memory isn't a real issue, but i was thinking that maybe it helps me somehow
EDIT: disabled Ublocker, no difference, still wants to download the image can it also be that the site where i posted the image has changed its thing/rules? copy image location worked with google pictures, here random example: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/340/f/4/wolf_in_the_winter_by_sky_x_wolf-d6wycmj.jpg, this opens no problem, but this think makes it feel like fox is not functioning like it should, it makes me wonder what else doesn't function like it should & it makes me wonder how broken fox really is? fox 19 - 25 worked better, no issues that i currently have, unless Win is responsible for some thing/bugs, can some win processes mess with browser? i have win 8.1, not my choice & did not pay attention to Win Ver when i bought this PC

Not sure what the security addons are, but your main AntiVirus will not be affected by disabling Firefox Plugins, or by Firefox's SafeMode.
Adblockplus did or maybe still has an issue causing Firefox Memory leaks.
As for the download link
That also offers to save the file in IE so I guess it is intentional and not related to a Firefox change.

yes it was addblock plus, but i had Addblock edge & new Ublock, neither of this is addblock plus, i did not even mention addblock plus, my security add-ones Ublocker ghostery & Enforce Encryption, i need to be with lowered security hole day & watch anime or TV series online in safe mode to be able to find that out, antivirus is not always enough, with out this adds something can slip trough & infect PC, there are things that antivirus does not detect, like some type of Malware & Spyware, also in older firefox ver 18-25 no memory leak with flash (OFC it means flash was older ver to) & back the i used ABP/AddBlock Plus

could this also cause memory leak OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc. 1.3? or make it it worse?
