I agree Tracy that when multiple tabs are open FF will suck ram, and not restore it properly after FF is terminated. Worst case is to bring in a video when this trashed ram exists. the audio is very choppy. If I do a reboot and go to view that same video no problem at all. I will clean my temp file with ccleaner to get rid of the download. FF3 in a multi tabbed usage is buggy with respect to ram usage. That trashed ram will effect IE or chrome on the same video even if I close FF.
