I have been using Firefox as my primary browser and Chromium as my secondary browser. Yes, Firefox has improved with respect to memory consumption a lot. And if I have 5-10 tabs open in each FF and Chromium, FF takes lesser memory.
Firefox has also gotten considerably faster. The javascript performance has improved and it is as fast if not faster than Chrome. In fact when I last heard, IE had the fastest JS engine with Chakra.
Firefox opens equally faster (cold start) with 0 or 10 tabs. This is really not a factor for me though, as I don't cold start a browser for weeks.
I love Firefox Awesomebar. I don't remember selecting a bookmark or opening history menu on FF. Also, I still don't find some equally good addons/extensions for Chromium e.g. mouse gestures. Addons are better integrated with FF compared to Chromium.
