Is firefox constantly eating more and more memory?

Hi there,
I typically like to have multiple firefox windows open in my different virtual desktops.
Typical case is that I leave on Friday with my computer locked and once I am back on Monday I can see the firefox memory consumption being hugely increased. After a fresh reboot firefox needs (for my number of windows 1Gb) while if I leave pc open for days (that I typically do) this increases considerable

  1. How I find that memory consumption is increasing? Through System Monitor tool of my KDE (4.11.5). There is a memory field in the Process tab and when I sort processes by memory firefox is always leading the race. Even if I do not do anything in firefox one can see the memory consumption increasing over time. A bit of fluctuations of course I was expecting as firefox keep reloading advertisements or content. But this is not the case as firefox always increases the memory consumption
  2. I am running firefox
    Code:

    firefox --version

    (process:4248): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
    Mozilla Firefox 27.0.1

  3. and few more info that might help
    Code:

    cat /etc/issue
    Welcome to openSUSE 13.1 "Bottle" - Kernel \r (\l).


     uname -a
    Linux hidden 3.11.10-7-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Feb 3 09:41:24 UTC 2014 (750023e) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux



did anyone have a similar problem?

Regards
Alex
