I do agree that browsers have a far larger memory footprint than they perhaps should do, but in this day and age why not? 430MB is nothing compared to the the amount of ram that is shipped in new builds these days as standard. It makes sense to use the abundant fast memory store than swapping to the slow disk store.
? Im sitting here with 8 tabs open and a separate window and it's using 150MB
Firefox is known for memory leaks.

It is bad though GreenLizard. I open Firefox and get ~250MB memory usage with my default about:blank page loaded!
