I've had Firefox 3 (nightly's) open all day along with up to 7 tabs open and memory usage hasn't gone above 68 megs. That's including having the default 50 meg cache set (in Firefox's options) and 4 extensions loaded. One thing you have to remember is that badly coded extensions are the main cause of memory leaks not that Firefox 2 didn't have any of it's own. Although the Firefox team has taken care of over 300 possible memory leaks, having a lot of extensions installed will eventually add up in memory usage. More than you needed to know?

I've always been one to leave things open on my laptop for days at a time (though the laptop may be in sleep mode). The fact that things would start to get really slow after a while has always bothered me. Of course, I haven't updated in a while, either. Did they ever take care of the memory leakage issues?
