   Are u on a website where flash ist used very much? Maybe that's the problem.

   If you want FF to free memory when it's minimized then goto about:config and set config.trim_on_minimize to true

   Hope that helps

   I usually keep a million tabs opened because I am used to open a lot of tabs and after that to go thru all of them and read the content.
   I have added that setting in about:config. Thanks. I didn't know about that.

   Are you using Firefox3 or Firefox 2? FF2 and below had HUGE memory leaks, but FF3 seems to be better on that front. Though I think a million open tabs would do that anyway =P

   Well I installed FF3 for the record thing but I saw that some of my extensions didn't work because they didn't have updates, so I switched back to FF2.
   I will try FF3 again to see if the authors have updates the extensions. Aldo I really hate the "awesome url bar" or how the hell they call it.

   I upgraded to FF3 and I can say that only one problem has been solved.
   The browser never crashed after I upgraded. I mean never, not once.
   The memory leak is still present but other that I have no problem.
   And another bad thing is that I sometimes close the browser from the close button but the program still remains opened in the background using memory. The only way I can close it is by hitting ctr+alt+del and close it from there.

   I don't think I can ever have a FireFox that won't use too much memory because I use 24 extensions with it. And I can't get rid of any of them because I use them all.

   wow that is just too much

   i had ff3 before, but switched back to 2 because of random crashes and incompatible add-ons, about 4-5 of them

   btw it only takes 130K of cpu memory
