Wow!   The worst I've yet seen is here on my work PC, using nearly 180MB
with multiple tabs open.

Do you have any addon's installed?  I've noticed some seem to eat up the
memory.  Also if a browser session
stays open for a long time (days on end) the memory usage begins to grow.

In fact, just now I looked at my work PC.  I'm at 166MB and growing, and FF
has been open since last Friday.
Just to test, I restarted FF.  With all the same exact tabs open, I'm down
to 48MB.

FWIW: My work PC is running Win2k, and FF 2.0.
