Firefox is a memory hog - you can't deny that.
Of course so are other browsers.
I've been using Firefox all day (6 hours now?) and loaded hundreds of pages and have 8 pages open now (including a flash-based music player) and it's using about 200MB of RAM. That IS hoggish. I just launched MSIE 7. Three tabs (YouTube homepage, news.yc, and macrumors.com - nothing too heavy). It's at 140MB. That's hoggish too (especially considering how light a load).
So yeah, Firefox hogs memory, but I at least don't see a compelling advantage in alternatives. I guess I just can't get riled up at this time of day.
