Very recent versions of Firefox seem to have fixed this problem for me. I think this was fixed in the version 54 to 55 upgrade. I probably have 300-400 tabs open right now and Firefox memory consumption seems to have stabilized at a bit over 6 GB. It's been running for the last eight days.

You could try non-ESR Firefox first, I do not have such problem with it (11-STABLE amd64, heavy use takes half of a physical RAM, no swap). Alternatively, try just clean profile with Firefox. There is a lot of settings that could affect that (e.g. loading tabs in the background). -- Sent from:

I've been seeing -- and have reported, to no avail -- the same behavior under XP at least since v43. FF gradually consumes all available memory and crashes. Killing the job before the crash and restarting has the same effect you cite: memory use goes back to a reasonable number before again
