That's impossible! On my 64 bit system running 2.0.0.1 it only takes me about 1/2 day of browsing to hit 900 MB.

Do you have nspluginwrapper installed to enable the Adobe Flash plug-in? When I did, my Firefox would only run for a couple of days at a time before I started incurring major disk thrashing and slowness. Since I removed nspluginwrapper, Firefox has stayed up non-stop. At least 4 weeks, like I said.

Darn--there doesn't seem to be any easy way to get the exact date and time my Firefox process started--all ps is showing is "2006" ...

Heh...I had the same problem initially, but I found you can use either -o bsdstart or -o start=WIDE-START-COLUMN to get the day and month, at least.
