Same, I don't see where this thread can go... OMG Safari uses more than Firefox, shock of the century eh...
 
Firefox always seemed like a bigger memory hog to me than Safari, but maybe that's because I usually have a few dozen tabs in Firefox open compared to one or two in Safari.

Firefox is at 20% CPU, 370 MB (real), 1.25 GB (virtual).
 
When you only have 512 MB of RAM to go around, Firefox learns to deal with less.

Safari definitely tends to use more memory than either FFox or Opera.
