Mozilla Firefox memory

A wonderful, and useful article on how to control some of the memory bloat on firefox can be found here:

Damned handy, and I've been running it on conkeror as well as songbird with firefox as well.

Compared to an 'unmodified' firefox we are talking a 50% reduction in memory taken so far. That's over three days for the one process and 1day for the second 'unmodified' instance.
