Bug#640331: iceweasel 6.0 - huge ram use

[niky 45]

first, thanks for replying.

ok, there are some results. i'll attach a screenshot, with about:memory plus
htop output. this time, two tabs, gmail (for writting this), and the
about:memory from iceweasel.

second, i have tried with 7.0b2 (from experimental). at first it looked it
wouldn't use too much ram, but after a while (~ 5 minutes), it uses almost
the same. take a look at the second screenshot. (note: same tabs, gmail, and
the about:memory )
