I handle the issue with FF by using the Session Manager (crash recovery + more) plugin. Once a day or so I kill the process of the browser when the memory gets up to around 500k.

Instead of having to keep track of where I was it, I just restore the 'crashed' session and it opens back up all of my tabs etc.
