Firefox is known for being a memory hog. At my office, where I have to use Windows, I periodically see what you report and have to use Task Manager to kill it ('end process') and then re-start it. Sometimes I have to re-boot to get my memory back. (Hrmmm....I wonder....no, probably not....) At home with my Macs I use Safari. --Bob
