Why does firefox have memory leaks? I seriously don't get it.

Surely, something as popular would have tons of eyes looking at it and trying to find the issue.
Is it inherent? Is it unfindable?

Not ragging on firefox just curious.

Exact same reason operating systems crash from time to time. Sometimes it's impossible to recreate the memory leak in a controlled environment

Only poorly designed operating systems that run user programs in the kernel

The only thing that keeps me using Chrome is it's built-in flash support.

Single process architecture and shit extensions. They plugged most memory leaks caused by browser core years ago. Now they are going to deprecate XUL based extensions to allow multi process architecture and limit new extensions in a sandboxed environment.
