If you’re concerned about this, see THE mozillazine thread about memory usage, why it happens, and how to cut it down.

I really don’t mind its memory usage but I never seem to experience the extremes that some people report.
Yes that’s terrible and for the PC with low RAM it’s just a headache…
I use IE . It takes a lot less.
@iskoblog – The max I had seen with FireFox is around 110K.
@Cat – Generally there are 3 tabs open, not more than that.
@Galaxy – Thanks for the link. Going through it is the next thing I’ll be doing.
@Sandeep – Yes, it’s a BIG headache and becoming more and more annoying everyday.
@Madhur – “Tabs” is what is lacking with IE. Though I tried installing MSN Addin for Tabs, but it does not performed well on my machine.
