Um... however long my computer is on. Or I get fed up with the memory hogging it does over time. So, sometimes a few weeks. If I have a ton of tabs, I'll save the session and restart it to get the memory back. Or if I play a game I'll kill firefox and open it back to the previous session.

No more than a few hours at a time. I turn my computer off most nights.

I'm starting to get sick of Firefox, so I'm using Opera and Safari more these days.

The memory issue is the only problem I have with it. And I think connected to that memory issue, is when I have a ton of tabs open, any video played on a site will stop after a few seconds. Have to restart firefox to get that ability back.

But what keeps me on firefox is it has such a strong community, and the devs are constantly adding great things with major releases. At this point I couldn't say I'd trade it for anything, as with all the plugins I use, I absolutely love how I have it configured.

If I'm using it or have something I'm in the process of reading I'll have it open, otherwise I close it. I don't leave programs idling in the background usually except a couple IM apps.

I've had it open over 48 hours before though. Never had any memory leaking issues with it.

usually, several days at a time.
