Oh come on! It's just a GTK applications (with, as usual, poor desing,
which in turn leads to high memory usage due to poor allocators,
complex internal structure, which leads to bugs which cannot be fixed
even by maintainers months and years, and so on).

I'm complaining because my machine actually runs out of memory after a
few weeks :P (Yes, my home desktop only has 1GB of RAM :)
And yes, restarting firefox tends to help :P

You shoud try to use some better alternatives. Try Psi, for example.
In any case there are tons of better XMPP clients (you're not using
proprietary protocols like oscar/msn/aim/etc, are you?).

Apparently unlike you, I have friends :) So yes, although I prefer XMPP,
I also talk to people using proprietary evil central servers (hence my
insistence on needing OTR).
