Fixing Memory Leak of Firefox

[larry price]

actually 

killall firefox 

is the same as killing each firefox process running under your user id

from what I've seen certain extensions and plug-ins are worse
offenders than others, notably flashplayer and greasemonkey both seem
to increase the memory requirements and never return memory unless the
browser is killed.

If it's happening more often than every other day you may have some
other problem.
