i dunno if this is just me or this is a global thing, but FF on my mac regularly saps 20% just to sit there an do nothing.

i had a regular forum page open on a forum i go to alot and its needing 20% to show a page that is comprised of just 3 colours. red, white n dark grey

by comparison safari needs oh about 0.5% if that

 
That's Firefox for you. It has always been a resource pig on all platforms, and you get double whammied if you are using Flash too.

Try the latest Firefox 3 beta, I find it's a bit easier on resource consumption.
 
Or you could try Camino. It's based on the Gecko rendering engine, produced by Mozilla, and looks like an app Apple might have written in terms of appearance. I like it alot.
