Firefox on linux was sucking down an incredible amount of memory to the point where I was having to restart it daily, after installing the extra ram it would tend to stabilize around 10GB. (only extension I had running was adblock)

If you were running adblock, you might have hit this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=988266 ("Very high style-sets memory usage with AdBlock Plus").

Adblock is actually pretty memory hungry, if I remember right.
