Most memory leaks in Firefox are due to faulty code in add-ons. I had
this problem a while back, sometimes due to Firefox, other times due to
add-ons. The link you provided was one I referenced while having these
problems and, after looking at the list of affected add-ons, I removed
or updated those that were suspect and Firefox has been running great
since. My Firefox normally consumes roughly 80-130MB RAM, but it's
normally on the lower side of that spectrum.
