After watching some flash videos, the flash application will bloat to 2gb in memory usage and Firefox will bloat to 1gb in memory usage.

At such time the video becomes choppy and many sites such as news sites with embedded video hang altogether. the only solution is to kill the Firefox application and start again.

Using Firefox v30 but this is becoming unbearable. i will have to stop using Firefox if this is not fixed.
