I tend to run Firefox with 20+ tabs open. I love the program. But sometimes I'll have a tab open and can't figure out that it's draining memory or resources. It would be awesome if FF had a feature like task manager in Windows where I could pull up a list of the tabs and see which are sucking up memory and CPU cycles. I know one of them is doing this right now and can't figure out which one. I've ballooned out over the day to a gig of ram being used by FF and 25% or so of the cpu. If I knew which tab it was I'd close it down.
