I don't want to change my behavior because of software. I want software that works for me.

I'd have tossed "Firefox" by now if I thought something else was better. I'll never be satisfied having to restart a bit of software, or the computer where it lives, because of such flaws. You shouldn't be either.

I agree 100% with you. I tend to do the same.
But what's better, thrashing or restarting every once in a while? I really have little choice considering Firefox tends to get slower and slower the more memory it eats.
