Sadly fails to match the performance of Chrome.

I've been back and forth a few times. I used to find Firefox was more reliable in restoring your tabs after a crash than Chrome was, Chrome frequently lost everything although I've since learnt to do a manual restore.
Ironically, since Firefox started looking like Chrome it's also picked up Chrome's penchant for losing all your open tabs when it crashes.
While on every system I've used I find Chrome uses more memory than Firefox, RAM isn't a limitation on any system I use so I tend to run both at the same time.
Right now Firefox is using 1.2GB on my desktop, but Chrome is using about 2.9GB.
On my other machine, Firefox has 28 tabs open and is using 450MB. Chrome has 8 tabs open (on the same site) and is using 700MB. On my laptop, Chrome is using 2.4GB. Firefox 800MB with three time as many tabs open.
On my work iMac (which I'm nowhere near right now) Chrome also sucks memory like a mofo, but Firefox is still single-process... grr!
