Firefox does use more ram over time - restart it and you will find the memory 
use dives.   Its not all Firefox's fault - some is memory leaks, but most is 
from Flash and other plugins, so other browsers will do the same.

Hint later versions are usually better at using less memory! So check your 
version

Each version gets tighter on memory usage, for instance I have had 67 tabs open 
for about a day and Firefox is using 380MB memory.  I am running the 3.7 
nightly alpha build too (ie the latest bleeding edge) - I have been following 
issues like this on the Firefox development newsgroup.

Chrome also can have similar issues, largely as it uses separate processes for 
each tab and this increases memory usage too.

  I know thi sis offtopic, but does anyone know WHY FireFox consumse SO MUCH 
RAM ??
  I have 8 tabs open and its usign over 400MB !!  Its complete madness !  I 
have started going off Firefox lately. On ym Vista 64bit install at home, I 
cant do an F5 to refresh, I have to do a CTRL+F5 .....  grrr
