Of course. There are a number of problem with ff4 that annoy me, 20 tabs with addons disabled uses 500mb, after some time idling this grows to about 1-1.5gb. Same tabs in chrome, again without any addons - under 300mb.

The problem is lessened to an extent using the alpha and pre-beta builds so quicker development is only a good thing.

I stand by my original statement. Chrome is good, very good. It's also being worked on very quickly the beta/dev/canary push out new versions with great speed. Firefox needs to adopt this approach too.
