This may be a dumb question, but can someone explain why one instance
of MozillaFirebird with only one tab open starts 5 processes each
using about 25 megs of ram?

Same process, different threads. The memory is shared across the threads
so the figures for memory usage look worse than they actually are. It's
not a dumb question, it's a dumb threading model, which is why it's been
junked in favour of NPTL in the 2,6* kernels...
