If you're having issues with memory usage, try enabling decode on draw (image.mem.decodeondraw) It stops Firefox decoding (i.e. decompressing) images until it actually has to draw them. It will cause issues with images "popping in" when you switch tabs, but will reduce overall memory usage and increase responsiveness.

It should also help on sites like wallbase that have the infinitely scrolling pages. A single tab open on wallbase got my Firefox instance up to 1.1GB of RAM.

Edit: Oh yeah, and check about:memory if you're having memory issues, it shows a breakdown of how the memory is being used by Firefox (in my case I've got 12MB of compiled JavaScript, 717MB of decoded image data and 100MB of graphics data, which is page contents and such stored on the graphics card)

Has anyone else had any problems with Flash, in particular Hulu.com? Basically, whenever I have the bookmarks sidebar in Firefox, the Hulu video flickers to gray and back. It happens only sometimes in Youtube but almost all the time on Hulu. When the bookmarks sidebar is gone, howeve Hulu acts as normal. This seems to happen in both beta 8 and the current build of Minefield.
