Assuming it is the pixmaps being cached by firefox causing this growth, can someone with this problem please see this thread: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=3D354828#memcache And set the maximum memory cache to 8000 or 16000, then see if this problem persists? The quick way to do this is: about:config Create a new integer key, named "browser.cache.memory.capacity" and assign a value in KB for the cache size. You can confirm the size set by opening: about:cache You should see: Maximum storage size: 16000 KiB (or whatever you set it to). Watching xrestop, the Pxm mem value for Firefox should not exceed your maximum set. If it remains below your value, but you still see X.org or Firefox consuming/leaking memory, it may be an entirely different problem, but I suspect this will fix the problem.
