I suspect your amd64 version of firefox leaks memory 1.8 times faster than
my i386 version of firefox???

Do you run any i386? 

They (mozilla) did finally wake up and realize it is a memory pig and did this quantum
thing, but in the process broke a lot of things in the process, should we call this
progrress by regression?

I browse quiet confortable in 3.25G on a 32Bit OS on even an old E5800, using the
pig that is FireFox 45.3.0 ESR.
