Firefox (and most releases of Mozilla) also leaks memory like crazy.

At work I regularly ran Firefox up to 300MB before having to restart it.

I've run traces on it and memory profiles, and the culprit seems to be
shared memory segments it never frees up.

It also seems to never throw away things you viewed ages ago.

I don't think it pays much attention to the memory settings you can set
in about:config either.
