The apparent memory leak in Firefox isn't a bug, it's a feature. If you've been browsing lots, it keeps the last few pages of your history on each tab saved in the RAM so they load quicker if you return to them. The more RAM you have, the more pages it'll automatically cache like this. It's quite possible that you've simply had a few highly intensive pages loaded to cause this, but then again it's a hell of a lot of RAM. Anything below 120MB is generally normal for 512MB of RAM, basically, so you could probably double it for 1GB and again for 2GB, depending on how much memory you have.
