The Memory Curse of Firefox
So apparently Firefox 7 was meant to reduce memory usage.  Dunno if it did or not, but I'm still getting the same issue as I did with older versions.

Memory leaks

To be fair, it could be one of the add-ons, IDK.
But the more you use it, the more memory it seems to want to consume.  7 tabs open, 1GB usage.  Restart, and it's under 200MB.

Wonder if it'll ever be fixed or whether I can pinpoint an add-on responsible, but for now, I guess it means I'll have to restart Firefox every once in a while.
