"A lot of people complain about the Firefox 'memory leak(s)'. All versions of Firefox no doubt leak memory - it is a common problem with software this complicated. We look to fix the issues where we can. David Baron and others have done a huge amount of excellent work in this area. What I think many people are talking about however with Firefox 1.5 is not really a memory leak at all. It is in fact a feature."

8.51 for Win32. It makes it difficult to use for forums or dense news sites. If you wait until the page is actually loading, it's fine to click another link. I typically go to 20+ at a time, then skim over them and close tabs.
In FF, it takes forever to load them, but they all load. In Opera, I get a few tabs in, it stays busy, and that's it until they are all loading.
I imagine ad servers don't help the situation.
