Again I will stress ... most of these so-called
memory leaks in FF are not in the browser itself, but rather in the plugins that we all have come to love using.
Firefox itself - right out of the box - comsumes very little memory, and is quick as a whip too!
Only after you start bogging it down with your favorite plugins, do you start to see memory leaks and reduced performance.
Basically the only way to troubleshoot this, is to turn off (disable) your plugins one at a time ... use firefox for a bit ... disable another one ... use it a bit ... wash, rinse, and repeat until you find the plugin that causes the leak, and then disable it, and turn on the other plugins.
1000K every hour is not anything to worry about ... but 300K over the period of 24 hours is a leak that should be troubleshooted.
