When I am running Firefox 4.0, it munches about 250 mb of memory. Nevertheless it runs for about 20 minutes then suddenly will not open any more web sites. When I open my Task Manager I can see that firefox.exe 32 has opened a second very small instance of itself. If I close this instance, Firefox shuts down and works just fine when I re-open it.

What is causing this? It is very annoying.

P.S., I have also noticed that if I run Firefox of a RamDisk this does not occur.
