K-meleon for the win.40k memory with 20 tabs open.Totally lightweight but its outdated for most sites.

Dont know why but i switched from Firefox to Opera to Chrome.

how many tab you have open and check which site is making your browser using all that memory

Win 7 ultimate uses more resources. L2XP

For Firefox you should have less than 25 tabs opens if you have more it will eat more memory

Same here Aff. It was huge problem when I had my old PC way back with 512mb RAM, FF would eat like 200-300mb of RAM so it was super slow. I don't have that problem now with new computer but still I notice that if I have lot tabs + have my FF opened for quite a while usage goes up to 500-700mb RAM too.

It could be cached data or w.e. If there was addon or way to flush unnecessary data from time to time that would be great.
