I sorted out the memory allocation problems in Firefox. it turns out that it
was the Adobe Acrobat plugin and lots of other people have had similar
encounters. Personally I don't like the Adobe Acrobat and always choose the
Foxit reader as a .pdf alternative. This was the main plugin I had to read
.pdf's in Firefox but I had loaded the Adobe plugin way back in time as part of
a product install that did it automatically. Even though I disabled the plugin
it was still active and looking for updates in the background as well as
grabbing masses of memory.
It would seem that simply removing firefox and re-installing it doesn't cure the problem
as there are numerous Adobe hooks/registry entries that are left and some plugins which
Firefox leaves traces of even if you select the "uninstall user options" which
is what I did at first.
You need to uninstall Firefox then manually remove the program installation
folder completely. This forces a reset of the registry entries when it is then
re-installed.
Job done.
