Firefox 5 crzay memory usage 1.3 GB! Was also in FF4 and below (win7 OS)
After 2-3 hours FF is working, the memory usage can go up to 1.3GB, always. Even if i close all tabs ! It happened to me with FF 4 and now with FF 5. FF is running under win7 pro operating system.
I can keep working like that, it slows down my computer. I Have 4GB of memory in total.
Thank you in advanced.

I was thinking I created a memory leak by using the Add-on Compatibility Reporter extension. You might want to check into this.
I've noticed that working with tab groups instead of my preferred mode of multiple windows mitigates this problem dramatically. What used to take hours now takes a couple days before the memory has blow out of a 4 gig 64 bit Win 7 machine.
This is an observation not a solution. Memory problems need to be fixed. Teaching another browser to work my way is tedious. But I'm about ready to abandon FireFox. (For what it is worth T'bird does not seem to have this problem. Perhaps that would help point to the memory leak.)
