What's Up With Firefox & RAM?

Recently, I've noticed FF hogging memory
like you wouldn't believe! Like two-thirds
to three-quarters of one my 1 Gb RAM.

Doesn't seem to matter about which or
how many web pages are open.

If I kill FF, then restart after a few moments,
the start-up RAM call is modest - less than
100MB, with no pages open.

Then it just seems to progressively build up
to two-thirds to three-quarters of 1 Gb,
slowing the computer down badly. So
I kill it again and start over.

The one thing that seems to be new is the
server-forced upgrade by skype, which
put a dialler into FF. I'll remove that to
see if it makes a difference.

Anyone else having this (general FF/RAM-
hogging) experience?
