Yeah, I don't know what this person's complaining about. Firefox can use a little bit of RAM initially, but if you're not going back and forth to the tabs constantly, it doesn't, it unloads them from RAM after like an hour, and it reduces its RAM footprint to a tiny fragmented amounts.
You block origin is really really tight and prevents practically any problems I have and then I use No script on top of that which just makes my setup super lightweight.
In the same boat with using 32 gigabytes of RAM, but I also have systems that have 4 gigs of RAM that I've never had issues with Firefox.
