But since others will probably come, as we did, at least we can give them something useful: • GeekTool to show Firefox memory on the dashboard, so it's easy to keep an eye on, and • Restartless Restart to put a button in FF's toolbar to make restarting effortless. This is SO not a fix.

I thought it was Google Toobar but it wasn't. Still no clue what causes this. This is actually funny…in a sad, sad way. I thought it was Google Toobar but it wasn’t. Still no clue what causes this.

But restarting often is not a solution. Besides, after just 1 hour with 3 tabs open (1 being Gmail) the memory got up past 600MB and is concerning a far amount of CPU! I don't want to have to restart hourly. It makes me sad that I have to use Chrome and their inferior dev tools since I just can't put up with such a slow, bloated browser any more.
