This is ridiculous, even the new Firefox 7.01 uses 800+ mb of ram, and that's when no tabs are open.

I load a few sites, it climbs and within a couple of hours, it's pausing on every single site and flash is causing Firefox 7 to stop responding for about 15-20 seconds.

Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

How about with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile

Running in Safe mode, the memory doesn't climb like it usually does.

I had a look at the problematic extensions article on the MozillaZine Knowledge base, and I was running Greasemonkey which said it uses excessive memory so I disabled it.

See how it goes, but it seems to be ok so far.
