What version of the browser is that for? I don't ever have a problem with my firefox sucking up too much memory...it stays consistently around 60MB.

I tried the hack and it didn't seem to do anything

It only works when you minimise it. So if you want to free up some memory without closing FF this will help.

And I'm using the latest version and it worked for me, I don't know any more than that. Not even sure if it is Windows only.
