Tend to have 5-6 windows open at any time with 7-8 tabs in each. Used to consume about 600 mb at worst in the previous version of firefox I had. Now takes up up to 1400 Mb, the plugin container included.

Forgot to mention, I have plugins: shockwave flash 10.1.53.64, quicktime 7.6.6.0, java 6.0.200.2 enabled.

Plugin container takes up around 300 MB while firefox accounts for the remaining amount.
