Does this happen to anyone else?

Since it's cold in my room (constant temperature change is bad for PCs), I leave the PC on standby and it generally never gets switched off unless I leave home for a few days or so. This means I only re-start it occasionally, so I often leave Firefox running for days at a time without closing it.

The latest version of Firefox seems to keep wanting more and more memory over time as I browse pages, though, starting from 50,000 kb just from having a couple of pages running. Even though I don't open any pages, FireFox goes "OM NOM NOM!" and the memory it takes up seems to grow and grow like a spiral, eventually getting to the 600,000 kb mark before becoming unresponsive and freezing occasionally.

I then close Firefox from the Task Manager and re-open it by restoring my session. It has the same pages open as it did when I closed it, but now takes up 50,000 kbs again instead of 600,000. It even died completely last week - It wouldn't re-open (froze on startup with a blank page) and I had to re-install the whole thing. :S

Anyone know why it likes to eat my memory like this? :P The other versions of Firefox didn't used to do this - I mean, it's Firefox. It's normally really amazing.
