I'm working on a patch to fix this. You can see the initial version of the patch here:

The patch makes Firefox release the pixmaps used for JPEG images after a few seconds. It seems to work pretty well on my machine; my next step is to add support for this to the PNG and GIF decoders, and to take better measurements of how much memory we can save.
