There are definitely memory leaks in Firefox, particularly on
certain pages that get used/reloaded a lot. For example, if I
accidentally leave a Test match score page from cricinfo open
overnight, I have to kill -9 the browser and restart it, because it's
using so much memory. The page reloads every 60 seconds. This
behaviour has been there for at least the whole lifetime of FF3. It
may have happened with FF2 as well, but I don't recall that so well.

I've not seen that behaviour before.
