[Bug 314424] Re: Firefox 3 memory use explodes by itself randomly

[k c davis]

I'm seeing something very similar, but it -seems- related to how may
sites I visit, as if Firefox was caching in RAM and not freeing when tab
closes.  If I let it, it will fill 4 GB RAM, then semi-hang while
thrashing the swap file.

Also reported as launchpad bug # 126012.

This system is routinely suspended, and almost always has Firefox AND
Thunderbird open.  I mention Thunderbird because I'd just been watching
RAM use climb for no apparent reason with just those two open, so closed
Thunderbird and the RAM eating stopped, then did NOT resume when I re-
opened Thunderbird.
