You can check to see what version of Flash you have installed by going to Tools>Add-ons and selecting the Plugins tab.

Hah, I thought I had Flash 10 on here, but I just checked, and I'm still at 9 on this system. Must have been on another computer...

I don't think Flash is the only culprit, especially for memory leaks. I suspect the Javascript interpreter of leaking like a sieve, but maybe it's the layout engine, or who knows which add-ons. But every bit helps -- thanks for the pointer!
