My experience with Web browsers is they expand to fill all available memory and then some. This Firefox process has grown more than 50% since launch, and will stay mostly that big even if I close all but one new tab.

Chrome does a better job of containing the damage to individual tabs, but I'm not how much that really helps with something like this. And of course, eventually I still end up killing Chrome periodically to get RAM back for real work, like running VMs without the host thrashing.
