http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/2207/1266350249865.jpg - this is pretty self-explanatory. I didn't visit any flash-heavy sites besides youtube, but this was taken after only those 2 tabs have been open for some time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Long runtime without resetting the browser
Actual Results:  
Taking huge amount of memory

Expected Results:  
Well, 200 mb would've been ok.
Um, the image you linked to has absolutely nothing to do with Firefox... Wrong image URL?
Yes, sorry - the images got mixed up in my clipboard.

Since yesterday, Firefox was able to take up about 400 mb of memory after a 2 hour long runtime...
Are there Google results in the tabs? Are you in safe mode (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/safe+mode)? This might be a duplicate of bug 510854.
No google results, no safe mode and yeah, looks similiar.
What are your add-ons? Does the problem persist in safe mode (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/safe+mode)? Perhaps you could check some more memory leak bug reports--there's too many for one person to go through all of them. Also, what are the URL's of the sites you are on before the memory leaks?
