While browsing through FireFox, it kills up physical momory statically. Like,
I'm browsing 8 pages, and taking about 20 MBs of memory, but after I unload the
pages (closes the tabs), it doesn't kill from the memory. Thus, it seems to
happen that I need to restart FireFox once in a while, or it ends up with a big
amount of memory causing slow performance.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Given on the detailed section...


Expected Results:  
The memory occupied for the each tab should be free after closing the tab.

are you sure that this is a dupe of a Suite bug ?
could be a dupe of bug 277492

Bah, these memory bugs are generally pretty vaguely stated, and they can't
generally be narrowed down to any one issue.

The one I duped it to has a bunch of Firefox dupes, but if you want to reopen
and dupe it to the new one, don't let me stop you ;).
