Mark et al. I do not wish to be a contrarian, but this does not happen for me with firefox. On my 16GB laptop I learned that Firefox and chrome restrict the ram they use (from memory to 2GB each) perhaps to address complaints like yours, I started getting performance problems because I use mostly browsers and mostly tiddlywiki, I decided to change this limit - in fact with some fiddling I gave them both 4GB headroom. I had forgotten I had done this, but now I only accrue a little performance slow down after days of operation and and no restart.
I also - use a plugin for both browsers called One Tab, to close tabs (that are not mine) and save them as links, otherwise I "pin" my main tabs. - open multiple chrome windows from application shortcuts. - I use Timimi a lot, I suspect it uses browser memory but no matching server memory (As with TiddlyServer and Bob) The majority of performance issues I see are in wiki design and usage related in larger wikis, helped by reducing open tiddlers or hiding the sidebar.
