[RESOLVED] FlashGot has a bad memory leak

Post by loxs »

I just installed FlashGot.
The installation passed just normally, but when firefox got restarted, it filled the whole ram + swap of my machine, resulting in a need to unplug it.
Later I tried to start firefox from a terminal. It outputs this:

Code: Select all

loxs@aoede /home/loxs $ firefox
which: no aria in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.3.3:/usr/kde/3.5/bin:/usr/qt/3/bin:/usr/games/bin:/home/loxs//.local/bin)

^C
loxs@aoede /home/loxs $
After that I have to kill it as it starts to eat ram very fast.

I am using firefox 3.0.10 on gentoo linux.

Confirmed, seems to happen on fresh installs but not if FlashGot was already installed (auto-updaters shouldn't be affected, fortunately).
Just removed the file from AMO and trying to fix it ASAP.

BTW, you probably know that but you can uninstall it by starting Firefox in safe mode, sorry for the inconvenience.

Fixed in FlashGot 1.1.9.4, just rushed out.
Thank you very much for reporting!

Downloading from mozilla doesn't work. It says that there is a checksum error.

Downloading directly from your own page works fine.
