While downloading files page file keeps growing until download is completed

more options

When downloading any files and at the same time monitoring page file through Windows Task Manager page file keeps increasing until download is finished, then it drops again.

In case of larger downloads, fills my virtual memory.

While in Internet Explorer or Opera this does not happen.

Also note taht this case did not happen in earlier versions of Mozzila Firefox browser.

I just don't want another browser - I want Firefox - but if this is not solved I'm sorry to write this but another browser I will have to use.
