    I compared Firefox (3.5.9, with all my addons) and my Opera Portable Browser (10.51).
    Tested with the same amount of tabs.

    BROWSER--------RUNTIME--------feeled SPEED-----------RAM-USAGE
    Opera--------------3hours------------FAST--------------------76 MB (24 MB minimized)
    Firefox---------------3hours------------SLOW--------------------226 MB (mimiz. same,4h~413 MB)
    Chrome-------------2hours------------FAST---------------------369 MB (mimized not much difference)
    Internet Explorer---2 hours--------DECENT------------------496 MB (mimized not much difference)

    The conclusion:
    Opera seems to be very fast and stable, even several windows with tabs do not brake the stability.
    The Ram-Usage is outstanding and fits for general surfing and also power using.
    However, Firefox is still my prefered browser because it has too much addons which I would miss on others.

    I will also test chrome and the Internet Explorer in the above chart.
    This will be added later on...

    EDIT: Sorry I twisted opera and firefox in the ranking, changed it.

    EDIT2: Chrome is using different Processes, as shown in this screenshot..



    The Firefox Ram-Value highly increased after the 4th hour of usage, it feels like its getting slower.
    The Chrome RAM-Usage is also very high, but the single processes are not a good indicator for getting results.
    At the top of the Top is the Internet Explorer, it uses also different processes for each tab (like chrome), but its RAM-consumption is the highest.

    EDIT3: Mozilla announced that they will also use in future releases several processes for each plugin.
    The feature is called 'Lorenz' and will enhance the stability and browsing speed.

    For further information check this link.
    The latest version which includes this feature is 3.6.4 Beta

    My FF catchs more than 1GB of my RAM, including all addons etc.

    I currently have a lot of addon (33, 3 of them being desactivated), and after 5/6 hours usage, FF memory consumption stays around 450 MB.

    I think that there could be somewhere a memory leak in one of my addons.
    Firefox is very famous for his memory leak problems.

    The second thing could be the huge amount of bookmarks which I have in my top-bar, but I'm not sure if this could be the reason or not.

    I would be very glad, if there were a easy way to find the memory leak.

    There are tons of leak plugging tools for firefox, but unless you're developer ready to join coding yourself, you won't have much use of them.

    Much easier way is to disable your addons one by one till you find a memory hogging culprit.

    Over one month later and a lot of struggle, finally I found the problem: It was the firefox skin called 'walnut'. It made my FF very sluggish and consumed a lot of RAM.

    Currently I am looking for another skin, does anyone use the personas-skins ?!

    Could they recommended ?

    i choose against the skins...even though i have a very nice computer with more ram than one could need...they do run firefox more sluggish and the more HiDef or graphics intensive they are the longer firefox might take to load and a lot of them are just poorly made by people that dont know what they are doing very well but if you were to use one id use one by a good designer that knows what he is doing instead of some eleventeen year old on his parents compaq from 98

    The noob's will slow your Firefox down

    This thread is about Firefox, but still... when I just began using Opera back in the day I used skins, but later switched to the classic theme. It's faster and uses less RAM

    most noobs do designs like cheezy race cars or hot chicks in bikinis but you can click their name to see how many things they design. use your own judgement i use a general thing if they have x amount of skins designed they are a decent designer if they have 1-5 they did it to fill their personal need.

    The above mentioned skin (walnut) is from a pro, and it has more than 300k-Downloads.
    So, what do we learn from this circumstance ?

    well like i said earlier...the higher def or more detailed skins require more ram to display them especially if your video card doesn't have much dedicated video ram...so it could be hogging ram based on the intricacy of the design...but my standard no nub skins still stands

    My card has pretty much dedicated ram, so that should be not the problem.
    but maybe your point in right: It may be a problem in the code-design.

    Spammer.

    I think Opera is the best, but given those two choices only... Firefox, of course.
