It's quite memory hungry. Not saying leaking per-se, but my 16GB machine at work started swapping heavily mostly due to Firefox today.

Only had about 15 active tabs (though a number of dormant ones since last FF restart). Between the various processes, FF was using about 6-7GB of memory. Closing almost all of the tabs reclaimed about 2GB, so still a lot left over.

That said I'm not too bothered, I can restart FF every other week or so.
