If any of you have noticed Firefox hogging a lot of memory, especially when looking at very large JUnit report files, etc., I have found a good solution to free up memory every time Firefox is minimized.

Link is here:

Basically you go to the about:config page in Firefox and define a new boolean variable, config.trim_on_minimize=true. Working great for me!
