Yeah, as I said in my previous email: I jumped the gun.

The only extension we're both using is Adblock Plus, but I just ruled it
out as the culprit: I've been running the same session for around 10
hours now and no memory spike whatsoever. The only extension I disabled
is the del.icio.us one, but since you don't even have it installed, I'd
venture a guess and say it's probably either a common API used by the
del.icio.us extension and some other one you have enabled, or some
freaky interaction between extensions (which would be a lot harder to find).

Unfortunately my XUL-fu is as good as nonexistent, so I'm afraid I can't
really help out much further, at least not until someone with more
insight points me in the right direction.

Keeping my "xul-newbie" hat on, I'd still not rule out the possibility
of a problem on Firefox's side, since this could be a leak inside a
specific API being used by extensions. But this is moot until the actual
problem is found.
