Mozilla has been a memory hog. But, there was a really great bugfix lately. The problem was that, when opening and closing new windows, Mozilla was leaking basically the entire contents of that window. Those of us who browse using a lot of windows were getting killed by this bug. Now that it is fixed, Mozilla's memory consumption stabilizes after startup. Whee. -jwb
