I don't have any issues on Linux, my Firefox uses ~370MiB with some(7) tabs open and some add-ons. I'll check it on Windows later. Perhaps it's loading the pages after all. What happens with your memory when you start Firefox with no internet connection? Still the increase?
I found this article. Have you checked it out already? Perhaps you can make something up from about:memory.
Have you taken a look at the bugtracker?
Perhaps you can find help at a forum or mozilla support.
Just some ideas, I'm not following Firefox development in any way. I wouldn't get any wiser from it either I'm afraid :)

471 tabs to be exact.
I've been at over 1000 before :D

Several add-ons running, one being greasemonkey running several scritps.
Yeah, this seems to be a problem on my side. I think I'm gonna do a clean install of Firefox after I go through all my tabs.

I haven't tried without internet, but I seriously doubt that's it.
I'm afraid the links aren't helping either :/

I.e: Mike Rogers doesn't think it's rape unless the victim knows (s)he has been raped. Sounds legit.

400 pages is fine.
Unless you've set it up so all pages load when FF opens.
Try finding the 50 odd youtube vids starting to play at the same time, along with several tutorials and other vids, with your volume maxed, now that's fun.
It's the lazy man's bookmarks.
And it sucks when FF crashes and loses those pages.

Down below 400 now!
I've closed over 70 tabs.
So proud of myself :D
I hope I'll be able to get down below 100 in the next month.

Still about the same. I'll be reinstalling FF whenever I close down enough tabs.

This is partly of course because of just having 4GB RAM, but mostly because Firefox version 24 seems to have a pretty major memory-leak.
I have not had this problem before now, it only started happening with version 24.
When I start my browser it uses about 500MB RAM with one page open (with no addons enabled), but over the course of about 5 minutes its memory usage keeps increasing without me doing anything. It seems to stop around 1100MB, which is very silly when you have one page loaded.
I do have about 400 other pages that are unloaded, but that hasn't been causing problems before and I don't see why it should.
I have tinkered with some memory cache settings previously, might there be something there that is spooking around causing problems with the latest update?
Does anybody else have these kinds of problems with the latest version of Firefox?
