Problem in Firefox 1.5

I recently installed Firefox 1.5 on my linux machine. I noticed a very peculiar thing -- my machine was getting slower. A quick search in Google revealed that there is indeed a problem in Firefox 1.5 for linux. It is leaking memory. Many people using linux version of Firefox 1.5 have similar problem. I have now reverted to Firefox 1.0.7. Hope Mozilla Foundation will find the solution of this problem for linux version of Firefox 1.5 soon.
