Firefox steals ram like crazy, when I leave it up for multiple days it's not uncommon to see it at 300 megs in ram. If you have less than 768 megs of ram, you probably want to tune it a little. Also, this is for firefox 2.x as they're pushing pretty hard to get people to migrate off 1.5 these days :(
