I can recreate the scenario consistently. Go to a website which has large downloads. I hit a video website used by my company. Download 2-3 videos, at 700MB each simultaneously. Firefox.exe fills up your memory and 100% of your CPU (or 1 core in multi-core system). Please note this is NOT plugins container - this is firefox.exe. Happens if I disable plugins as well - I've disabled some, or all plugins, all seem updated. Prior to 3.6, had no issue. Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit, 2GB RAM

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I download files

@MJB Crash reports cannot be provided for this, because the browser doesn't technically crash. It simply uses all the system memory, and then freezes. We have to end the firefox.exe process manually.

Yes this happens to me all the time. I have to restart Firefox about 2-3 times a day or it will crap out. Crap out means it will begin to hang. It doesn't officially crash, it will hang... hang.... comeback... hang... hang. This consistently happens around the 1.4GB memory usage mark. I am also not downloading large files, just opening a ton of tabs each session. I am online all day long.

I am running 64-bit Win 7 Home Premium w/12GB RAM. It is almost like there is a memory usage maximum. Come close to the 1.25GB memory usage and watch out, you're going to start hanging.

Now I am by no means a true programmer, but was wondering if there was a memory addressing maximum for 32-bit FF?
