> Setting the limit to 4GB works to keep the *sum* of all the firefox processes' resident sizes under 4GB, but the main process's resident size is slowly growing (as before).

I spoke too soon - it doesn't appear to be limiting the sum.  I started firefox
with a 4GB limit and after about a week the 31 firefox processes that were
running chewed up over 6GB RAM.  The resident sizes in MB: 1174 785 300 213 196
195 191 187 185 180 178 170 168 166 156 154 150 142 141 125 124 123 119 113 112
111 104 101 99 96 86
