According to this article I found that firefox memory leaks is a feature and not a bug
If you want to disable this feature just follow the following instruction:
- type about:config in your address bar
- scroll down to browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers
- set its value to 0 (zero)
Enjoy a less memory intensive FF

I don't buy this argument
what exactly is saved in memory? the html content? the html, css, image, flash and anything else that get's displayed content?
or some sort of internal structure that represents the rendered output?
cause the html content is not large enough to eat all that ram, what is needed is to avoid downloading files again and to minimize diskaccess (ya3ni use ram cache and not just disk cache), but if my disk cache can be 26MB why is my ram cache larger?
anyways typical mozilla, bugs are features, resource usage is not important, etc etc etc

From their table, It's caching something like 3 pages.
and they say that each page is using 4 MB
If I have 15 tabs opened * 3 pages per each * 4 MB per page = 180MB
WTH!
I've disabled it and I'll try.
