Found on a Lifehacker Article after a conversation on IRC caused me to google the known tab history that is part of the cause for FireFox’s large memory footprint, I can about the extension TooManyTabs which you can install from the Firefox Addons site.

It allows you to “dock” unused tabs and free up memory. So far so good :) .
