I have 3 GB of RAM on my Win 7 system. I set the limits to 256 MB of RAM and so far it looks to be working.

I thought Firefox was cleaned up on this point by now, and I don't seem to be bothered by it anymore. I’m surprised to see all this still being discussed in 2011.

I'm going to try it as I've had as much as 8mg running at one time and firefox steadfastly refuses to close down when I close it. I did the Java update recommended by another person...no love.

Running 3.6 on Win7 and memory usage was ridiculous (500 - 750 mb.) and pages were slow to change, videos jerky, etc. Now uses between 80-120mb. with 2 separate windows and 4 tabs open and a lot of flash content. Pretty slick! Thanks a lot! Dave Land Computer Service Super job.

This does not fix the memory leaks. It simply swaps the memory to disk which is helpful if you don't have a lot of RAM. Still...Good post. This is a bit misleading.
