It is not normal to have to periodically close Firefox to retain
performance by the way. I have 3 windows with 100+ tabs and they all
stay open all the time for months at a time only being closed when I
reboot for a kernel upgrade or something. In the past certainly I have
had times where the browser or one of the extensions I use has had a
memory leak and this hasn't been possible. It's not a normal state of
affairs though.

Thanks,
Andy
