Sounds like a memory leak to me maybe.
There was a firefox memory leak I read once about somewhere and for the life of me I can't remember the details or the link.

It would be a steady climb also the longer firefox was running.
If willing to experiment in Xubuntu.
Try installing Midori, Netsurf or maybe even Seamonkey and see if memory usage stays down.
Also if not running Bluetooth devices. Turn off Bluetooth in preferences>startup.
I just looked at my conky and iceweasel is still hanging. I am at about 377MB since I last posted.

I am not sure what to make of that since I AM NOT on my MX14 box which runs xfce.
