Before Firefox 6, Firefox would never get even close to using 1 GB of memory. But now it is steady at around 2.8 to 3 GB. Is this a bug or is Firefox now just normally use this much memory?

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
