That's interesting. On all my Windows systems Firefox 9 and 10 hogs
up almost 1GB of memory (and uses up the pagefile!) for only 5-6 tabs
open. I even reduced the memory cache settings. Not even Firefox 3.x
used to hog so much RAM on any of my systems. Approx. 100-200MB at most
with 15 tabs open. And memory cache enabled.
Note that I am talking about visiting the same sites I normally do
here.
On a test now (x64 system) Firefox 9.0.1 hogs up over 170MB RAM with
only 1 tab open. Not even Firefox 4 was this bad; I've noticed usage
getting worse since they switched to this "quick release" scheme and
turned their entire user base into beta testers, without their consent.
I rest my case.

Yes. Sorry. You're absolutely right. Firefox really is slimmer and
less memory hungry than ever these days. On another note, eating
McDonald's is good for you so you should do this everyday.

Ehm... Firefox IS less memory hungry in its current version than
before. I noticed this on my smaller Windows system, where Firefox
used to have around 400 MB with around 20 tabs open and now it's down
to 200 MB. That this is still far from optimal is a different topic ;)
[On Linux it seems to still be the same memory hog as ever...]
