Firefox 3.5.6 available

I've had all sorts of crazy problems with Firefox, and this is a brand new computer.

As I leave Firefox open on a page, without browsing, the mem usage steadily increases. It will start at 25,000 K, then work it's way up to 50,000, 80,000, etc etc.

Currently, with this page being the only one open and Firefox having been on for 20 minutes now I'm sitting at 212,000 K memory usage. If I don't close Firefox soon and began to surf through other pages it will soar up over a gig of memory, become unresponsive, sluggish, lag while trying to scroll, and it is horrendous while trying to watch youtube.

Seriously, what gives?

well firefox is a bit resource hungry, the only way i see the memusage going up is when i have multiple tabs open.
