I've had it open for a few hours now, and now with 3 tabs it's using 160MB of ram. Does it not shrink once a tab is closed until it restarts?

a partial solution to the memory hogging is:
create new boolean value "config.trim_on_minimize" and set to true
it reduces the memory used when firefox is minimised
Never Give Up!
installing mr tech's extension and having a restart button does the job done for me. it saves the session when i restart and the ram usage decreases. yeah, i know it's not an automatic solution, but at least it works.

To sum up this thread. Firefox uses a lot of memory.
If this bothers you, use Internet Explorer.
Don't you dare come in and post, "or Opera".
You and every other nub on the internets.
To sum up SnnY in this thread, he hates Firefox because it uses a lot of memory so he uses Internet Explorer.
Why not use Opera?
