comment
-----
Firefox is using huge amounts of RAM (48%), and slowing down the whole system. This after some hours with about 10 tabs opened.

I closed most of them, leaving only two open (gmail and another a horde mail page), and it still used lots of RAM (about 20%).

Then I closed the window, but it kept running in the background. I was looking at the output from top, and noticed it slowly went from the 20% of my 1G ram to about 10%, then kept increasing until it crashed.
