Well, even with that it won't be comparable to Chrome I'm afraid. Firefox became very heavy suring the years. And no I don't have a lot of add-ons; I have 2 addons in FF and 15 addons in Chrome and yet Chrome processes suck much less memory even if i run it for days without closing. People switching to Chrome is not just PR, really.

Well, one thing is that Chrome extensions are much more limited; also, they only even run when you let them.

Still, Chrome eats less memory than FF with 1-2 extensions (Firebug - very often disabled, and a FB addon). How can you argue against that? Just accept the fact that FF got issues.
