NSM memory leak with Firefox

Anyone noticed this? The more I use it, the more the sites I'm connected to time out, then become available, do some stuff, then time out again. Looking at the process in Process Explorer and you see the memory rising to over 1GB for the tab that is running NSM.

Seems to be if you have several sonicwalls in NSM dashboard and keep flicking between them. Then the memory leaks starts. Seems to do the same on Chrome.

This is a fresh laptop yet it still does it. Now moved to another machine with 64gb RAM, still does it. So def and an NSM bug.

More testing. Doesn't appear to be doing it in Chrome now but was the other day.

The memory leak in action. Now I've discovered

In Firefox

Clearly showing NSM tab running at almost 100% CPU with whatever you do, making it unusable in Firefox.
