Unfortunately, you didn't post the summary lines from top ... as FF alone is eating 50% of your RAM - is it possible that your system is swapping?
Thanks for your thoughts, Berny. I'm sure it's swapping, but I thought to RAM. Here are the summary lines from 'top' with the system in it's normal state: KiB Mem: 4055756 total, 3413740 used, 642016 free, 179980 buffers KiB Swap:5242876 total, 1579224 used, 3663652 free. 1274052 cached Mem I'll capture the same lines today, as I'm working.

I'm also quite lazy at closing old tabs, and I usually have always ~30-40 of them open, but FF is still below 1G RES (even after activating each). I guess that you are visiting some sites for which FF doesn't free memory early enough; I've seen this for some sites heavily (and badly) using AJAX.
The company's CRM is AJAX heavy and I keep four tabs open there. Our phone system 'switchboard' uses Flash (ugh!) to render it's queue. I keep one tab open there. I normally have two or three tabs open to client websites. Not infrequently, that grows to five or six. I keep two or three tabs open at ~/carlh (documentation and testing pages.) Finally two or three tabs open for search / research. Up until recently, I could do all of these things without triggering the behavior. I suppose my next step will be disabling all the add-ons and enabling one at a time as a test. I was hoping to avoid this; it's like the mechanic repairing his car at work. Thanks again!
