For one Adblock and Adblock Plus shouldn't be installed at the same time. Adblock Plus can cause some memory leaks as well from what I hear.

 

lodore How much ram does that machine have?

 

I'm running AdblockPlus and just opened 5 tabs and had 35Mb in use. Not sure what your problem is caused by :-S

 

Read these and google for more. I thought that it is a pretty well known gripe that FF uses lots more RAM than any other browser and more than it ought to.

"firefox memory leak" ("fix"), that kind of thing brings up a lot with google. Let me know if this helps you - if you do the fix - because I have not and would actually like to know what someone's experience with it is...

it turned out to be adblock plus and once i got rid of it the ram usage went back to normal thanks for the replys.
