I have never had the memory leak problem, and have been using this since it
was Phoenix. I just upgraded to 2.0.0.15, and it reared it's ugly head.

I left the browser open all day with about 5 tabs open, something I've
often done with no problem. When I tried to browse again after work,
everything moved like molasses. I opened Task manager to find that Firefox
was using over 500 mb of memory. I've never seen it higher than about 80
mb.

close FF and then click on the windows start button, then
run and enter:

firefox.exe -safe-mode

this will start FF in safe mode. Does the problem continue?
Also, you might want to upgrade to FF3. Some of the leak
problems have been fixed there. Not all, but some.
