You may be able to use the about: memory page in Firefox. However it may not be very easy to access externally. In recent Firefox versions I believe the about:memory page has the ability to dump memory information to a file. This would probably be a good start.

An alternate option would probably be to write a plugin or add on to accomplish your task.

Nicholas Nethercote has a great blog about memory related aspects of Firefox. It's hosted on blog.Mozilla.org. well worth a look for additional resources.

Hope this helps.
