512mb's of RAM is NOT a lot of ram by any standards now, upgrade to at least a gig, besides RAM is pretty cheap now to begin with, it is something you can't have too much of and is worth the investment.

I love Firefox but this memory problem is one thing I hate about Firefox. Firefox should learn from Opera.
