Stuart, where is the MOZ_DISABLE_IMAGE_OPTIMIZE=1 firefox to be set? Do we just add that to about:config? I am not sure if I am misreading your statement in Comment 8 or not. If I monitor resources with xrestop, I can see system memory usage spike as a result of Firefox hitting an image intense website (see the example website in Comment 1). I looked at bug 336191, but still don't understand where to set the parameter and am not clear on if this patch is already present in current release firefox.

Boris, I think your suggestion for a user settable limit is a good idea. Is it possible to set so that once the limit is reached, older data is simply overwritten still allowing new data to be cached but not exceeding the limit?
