Glen, thank you for the detailed explanations. I ran them for a few days. While memory consumption did not go anywhere near my previous findings, it did increase steadily, starting out at 100M VIRT memory and ending up at 200M a few days later. It seems that saving images in firefox reproducably increased memory consumption. I attach the valgrind log in the hope it contains useful information.
