    The next time it gets that bad, open about:memory and see what stands out as eating the RAM. There have been issues with AntiVirus software, old crufty features like "ask me about every cookie", the YouTubeCenter addon gobbles up RAM (developer version doesn't), and video drivers with shared RAM being problematic. Adobe has also stopped caring about Flash on Firefox, so that's becoming a real turd in the punchbowl lately. But if you try to dig deeper and help Mozilla find out what the problem is, I'm sure they'll help find out what the cause is. They did for me, so if you're not a total asshat about it, they'll probably help you out too. They do care, they just need someone to help them find the actual problem.

    "extreme" browsers like me. I run anywhere from 30 to 150 tabs open at a time. I'd say a nice average would be around 60 tabs

    It's not Firefox and that's not extreme. I was just doing some Javascript profiling this weekend on slow performance with 1630 tabs (Tree Style Tabs, of course), with the winners for CPU eaters being HTTPS Everywhere 4.0's SSLObservatory and SessionRestore.

    As much as I appreciate the EFF's efforts, I wound up disabling 4.0. Maybe 4.0.1 will be back with a vengeance.

    Anyway, Firefox wasn't crashing, it was slow. Probably one of your in-profile databases got corrupted at some point ('restore from backup' is the most likely "fix"). I'm on Fedora 20, running stock Firefox.
