I use multiple Firefox user profiles instead. Some of them allow cookies/javascript and others do not. This probably doesn't help memory usage, but it does allow some (small?) security benefits. I'm curious though, how this other user account gains access to your X server. Allowing other user ids to write on your screen/capture key & mouse events seem to me to be a potential issue.
