“But it’s a bit of a memory hog” that is a WINDOWS Problem not Firefox
No, it is Firefox. You can watch Firefox, even sitting idle, consume more and more memory, if you watch it through the Processes tab of Windows Task Manager. Right now, my Firefox is consuming 156,180K and I have only 1 tab on a simple (no flash or motion graphics) website open. I closed that tab to blank and it is now consuming 166,316K.

I am using a beta of an add-on called Memory Fox that helps to release the memory. Seems to work fine. I have 3 tabs open and am using 38,000K.
