   /Physical/ memory?   
      
   I am currently running FF (4.0) and TBird (2.0) concurrently on a    
   machine with only 256MB of physical RAM. With FF3.x is has been similar.   
      
   Ok, FF since 3.0 really likes to eat memory, but not /that/ much. In    
   fact you might check your plug-ins. The common ABP plug-ins and NoScript    
   for example can double the amount of memory of FF.   
      
   Do you use Flash?

   How did you measure the memory demand?

   This is the way FF behaves too.

   I think there is something related to your profile.   
      
   What is the size of your urlclassifier database?
