I find that the browsers eat all my memory. Have to exit them for data crunching.

I have hundreds of tabs in Firefox. Total memory usage is 4GB at worst.

Could it be that not all tabs are loaded into memory at all times? I use Firefox with Sidebery and a boatload of tabs, most of which aren't loaded at all.
