Firefox 3.0.6 Update

I'm sitting at 35 tabs in 2 windows, and using 284MB. The killer for me is Cacti refreshing images twelve times an hour.

As mr.sly suggests, what are you doing in Firefox? A lot of memory usage issues are either addons that are coded badly or plugins which leak, like Flash.

it's going to be difficult to go back to firefox now

chrome is miles faster

The difference is barely noticeable for me (running 2.0.160.0), and when you factor in the pain of ads it's a win for Firefox. Either are better than IE (or Opera) though...
 
Since the 3.0.6 update i've been getting really bad memory leaks. The auto update installed 3.0.6 and since then i've not installed any new addons. Tonight FF mem usage hit 1.1Gb. When I close it and reopen the mem usage is around 180Mb but it slowly ticks up without any video or flash heavy pages open.

About to try a new profile.....
 
None of that says it's leaking memory though...

Is your hard drive thrashing at the same time (swapping aside of course)?
