So I've heard. So is this something I just have to live with? Does everyone have this problem? I actually did used to kill firefox when I was experiencing memory pressure - it certainly relieved the immediate problem, but I think I found that not all the memory used was returned, and when I restarted firefox, the problem of running out of memory often returned before long (i.e., in much less time than after a fresh install).
