And Firefox is actually one of the most memory efficient browsers right now.
What people fail to see is that "just a browser" is a completely idiotic and misinformed statement.
Browsers are probably one of the _most_ complex and powerful app on the system.
Browsers are basically running entiere applications, virtualized, in a sandbox per tab!
Heck, some websites are just not viewable on mobile right now (unfortunately) because mobile jus't aint nearly fast enough. Think WebGL for example. Few mobile browsers support it, but when they do, its pretty slow if the author didnt make a super low polygon and texture count version...
