I used to have the same problem before, but one of the latest updates fixed it. From then on, my FF never takes more than 60MB.

Heh - I had it up to 252MB yesterday.

I've heard the source of the problem is the fact that FF keeps a history of all the pages you've visited in RAM. So regardless of your current tab state, all (or a big chunk of them) of the pages you've viewed in the current browser session are still stored in RAM.

That sounds about right, I was listening to Pandora about a week ago and firefox was up to 440mb ram. It must have been saving all the mp3's in ram :?
