Here's perhaps a simpler solution if you don't want to bother changing
browsers (which may or may not resolve your particular memory problem).
I suspect I don't see any of this due to the way I use Firefox. While
running the browser I use lots of tabs. Most everything I open is done
in a new tab. But after I get a bunch of tabs open I find that it's
just easier to shutdown the browser than go close a bunch of tabs.
Whether it's Firefox or some plug-in at fault killing Firefox should
clear the memory that's being used... unless it's truly a bad memory
leak. Just try it. It's easy enough and a Firefox restart doesn't take
very long. If it doesn't help then bite the bullet and try Chrome. You
don't have to abandon Firefox to install and try Chrome.
