My 'top' output line when doing ~700 MB iso file download:
21544 jb        20   0  447m  60m  25m S  5.3  8.1   2:14.42 firefox

Remember that this is the sum of all open FF windows/tabs. So make sure you
understand what FF id doing before you file a bug.
Also helpful:
- ps aux |grep -i firefox
- top then Ctl-M to sort output by memory use
- stop download, close/re-open FF, resume download
