Firefox's bad memory usage behavior hurts,
especially on older machines. Try this:

Run firefox for a while until it gets nice and big
Run some other job that uses lots of memory,
so firefox gets paged out
Try to quit Firefox

On my dual 650Mhz box with 512MB RAM,
it can take *minutes* for Firefox to finish
quitting.

This is pain nobody should have to endure.
