At present it is using almost 700,000K; I have 3 instances open with around 30 tabs in the first, 16 in another 4 in the last. Occasionally I resort to using the Task manager to close all instances in one go and restarting.
Currently the cache is set to 523MB. I'm unsure as to what other benefits/pitfalls there may be in reducing this. Does anyone know if there is a potential limit of open tabs per instance in FF. I know that if I had more than around 20 in IE8 then it would frequently freeze of crash (rarely use IE9 so haven't tested it).
Is it better, perhaps, to have the tabs spread over more instances or just reduce the number of tabs open in the first place?
I hope the OP doesn't feel I'm hijacking the thread, just thought it might be part of the issue.

700MB between 50 open webpages is only about 15MB per page, which doesn't seem that much.
