For those experiencing a "memory leak" in firefox....
ib ie & ff bashing 
h:
if firefox is using more than 100+ megs of memory on your computer... try this "fix"
Open Firefox and go to the Address Bar. Type in about:config and then press Enter.
Find, or search for browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers. Double click it, and set it to 0 (optional, prevents caching of pages for the back button)
Now Right Click in the page and select New -> Boolean.
In the box that pops up enter config.trim_on_minimize. Press Enter.
Now select True and then press Enter.
Restart Firefox.
What this does is move firefox to the page-file when minimized. memory usage drops down to 10, and settles back at ~60 megs or less when maximized again.
Try it.... you may notice a difference

I opened and closed about 5-6 tabs. :hs: It usually goes over 100k when I am on Myspace of something and someone has a ton of videos going at the same time.
