Default Firefox 3 memory leak

Well, does anyone else have issues with firefox 3 RC2? It was using like 250MB of RAM with 4 tabs open. >.<

So, any tips also for making it use less of my 256MB of RAM?

You are running xp with only 256 MB of Ram. My advice is to get more RAM and go back to the latest version of Firefox that didnt have the leak also you can turn off all unused add ons.

Well, upgrading to 512Mb of RAM would cost $90 or so, as it needs low density SDRAM. Firefox 2 also has the problem, and the Alexa toolbar doesn't work in Fx 1.5, which leaves IE as the only alternative. btw, I only have 2 extensions, Skype, and alexa.
