I tried this over the weekend, creating a fresh profile for Firefox, 
starting it up, loading digg.com into it, and then letting it sit for a 
day.  Memory consumption stayed constant.

I'm using the latest nightly version of Firefox 2.0 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; 
U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4pre) Gecko/20070513 BonEcho/2.0.0.4pre) 
on Ubuntu Linux 6.10.
