FireFox is a P... I.... G.... PIG

I love Firefox. There are a couple of things I don't like about it, but for the most part it is fantastic. I can't see myself functioning with out PlugIns like Google toolbar, Webdeveloper, FireBug and Gspace. But the thing is a ram PIG. It has SERIOUS memory issues. I don't know if it is the plugins or what, but when my system is running slow at work I am usually pretty sure it is Firefox sucking 400-900 megs of RAM. Sure I have 15 browser windows open (IE doesn't get that bad) but DAMN if that thing doesn't sucks down ram like College Freshmen suck down free beer. But here is the kicker, I lock my workstation at the end of the day I just lock it and leave my apps running so I can pick up where I left off. I have come back the next day and and my box will be sluggish (Mind you this is a brand new Dell business class box with 2 gigs of ram and two P4 Duel Core 2.8 GHz processors). I look at the task manager and sure enough it is Firefox gobbling up ram. One time it sucking up 1.9 GIGS of RAM!!!
