Sorry.
I've tried, but haven't been able to reproduce the error exactly as it was at 
the time.  I no longer have the system that was affected, having long since 
replaced it with a newer one with a more recent video card and more memory.
The only thing I can confirm at the moment is that Firefox doesn't quite return 
to the same memory state when all tabs are closed, though it's not nearly as 
bad as it was when I originally posted this bug.  I have suspicions (from 
further searches around the net) that this very last bit of memory that never 
seems to get returned is due to memory fragmentation, or such is my minimal 
understanding of the problem.
Nautilus still continues to grow with every thumbnail it displays.  I'm not 
sure if the memory is ever reclaimed.  I've got 8 times as much now, so I've 
not noticed any instabilities.  I'll watch it over the next week and report 
back.
