Ubuntu 7.04, 7.10, 8.10 and 9.04 are no longer supported.  If this is
still occurring with Firefox 7.0.1 please open a new bug.  According to
Mozilla, they have done considerable work to improve memory management
in Firefox 7.

Title:
  Firefox memory usage increases to point of no response

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  Go to http://www.virginradio.co.uk/listen/ and click on "Listen now".

  Via System Monitor I'm then able to see Memory increasing quite
  rapidly (5MB or more per minute at times, say, and sometimes with very
  sizeable quick jumps). Ultimately the music stops, I get no response
  from Firefox, and I can only kill it.

  This is a brand new installation of Ubuntu 7.04 with all recommended
  updates, and nothing additionally loaded that I can think of that
  would have a bearing here.

  I've implemented various "about:config" changes as recommended by
  various web sites I've found, but they don't appear to make a
  difference:

    browser.cache.memory.capacity  integer  8192
    config.trim_on_minimize  boolean  true

  Thanks for your time.

  Steve
