Resuming your browsing session: The Session Restore feature restores windows, tabs, text typed in forms, and in-progress downloads from the last user session.

I have no extensions installed and only the flash plugin. FF has been open for 4 hours and is using 408 MB. I guess I need to install these extensions/plugins in order to reduce my memory usage.

It lets Google see his IP address! As you know, such broadcasting of one's IP address can be dangerous. Only this morning I recieved a helpful popup message about it.
