Firefox memory leak

This is why I have to reboot about once a week... leaking memory from Firefox. I go to open a VM, and I'm suddenly having to use some swap.

However, I just upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04, and overall memory usage seems to be down a bit... maybe I can probably go longer between reboots now.

the windows build is a lot better than the linux build.
also, if the official flash binary is so bad, what should i use instead?

how do you recover from a kernel panic without rebooting?
