Leave =E2=80=98top -S=E2=80=99 running, and set it to sort the processes by= resident set size (type =E2=80=98o=E2=80=99 and then =E2=80=98res=E2=80=99). Then you should= be able to tell which process is eating all your memory. If it is a multithreaded process like Firefox, run =E2=80=98top -SH=E2=80=99 to narrow the problem down.
