In most cases, it isn't really a flaw but instead an unappreciated feature which allows the browser to instantly render a previously visited page on any given tab. If you visit a lot of YouTube videos on a row on the same tab the browser's memory usage can quickly jump through the roof. My recommendation to deal with this issue is to try to open and close as many tabs as you can. Instead of continuously navigating in the same tab, try to switch to different ones while browsing and close the previous ones. Firefox’ “memory hogging” has been debated many times.

I must say to Mackenzie that I agree... Firefox is definitely a mem hog. If it weren't such a damn good browser I'd be tempted to chuck it.

Wow. There’s a browser that’s a bigger memory hog than Firefox? Wow.
