Nagios 2.0b4 & Firefox 1.5 Possible Memory Leak

There are known memory hogging issues with Firefox.  They have been 
there quite awhile, and the developers debate endlessly about fixing them.

The longer you keep Firefox running, and the more tabs you use, the more 
RAM it can use up.  It also has an odd problem with swapping, but I 
won't go into details here.  (If Firefox or Thunderbird swap out of 
memory, either by being minimized long enough, or just by running enough 
other data through memory, they take FOREVER to swap back in again. 
Much slower than launching the program to begin with.  Another long-time 
lingering bug)
