"Mozilla's greatest success to date has come from its online efforts with the Firefox web browser. Since at least October of last year they've been working on the Mozilla Prism effort to bring the online experience to the desktop. That effort is taking a major step forward today. Instead of struggling with Mozilla Prism to create a standalone desktop version of a Web app, there is now a point and click browser plugin to do the magic."

Just another data point. My Epiphany uses 13m on start up. After having browsed for several hours, I'm at 39m.
To get these numbers, I am subtracting shared from resident memory, with swap temporarily turned off.
And that is using the gecko rendering engine. It will be interesting to see how it does with Webkit.

Just as a spot-test, IE7 here is using 83,672K as I type this. MOdern browsers are complex applications, and when you add flash/PDF plugins to the mix, you will always get high memory usage.
[On the other hand, the Logitech Set-Point software which is really just a hardware driver, takes 25MB ram during normal usage, that is way excessive, given what it is doing, and how badly it does it.]
