I have seen my iceweasel on my workstation continually grab up more and more memory and/or CPU.
I suspect it is either a or more like a combination of ad-ons that are causing a memory leak. I have reduced it to the minimum I need to feel comfortable (adblock plus, request policy, tab mix plus, etc.), and I generally run a st00pid amount of tabs... Of course, I have a fairly beefy machine, so I can go for some period without having to restart.
