I used to use this addon: *addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fastestfox-browse-faster/
It doubled the RAM consumption. Suddenly FF was consuming over 500MB RAM when it used to consume around 200-230MB. Removed it and problem solved.

@ NIGHTMARE: You should see which addon is causing the problem. Could you list your addons? I'll install those on my FF and check.

Here is the list of my addons--> Adblock plus, After the deadline, Flash video down loader, flash block, flashgot, Greasemonkey, Imgur Upload, Im translator, LastPass, SkipScreen, stylish, Wired Marker. There are four other but they are disable and one more thing while surfing FB my FF get stuck and freeze.

How much RAM? As I said earlier, I am getting 140MB of RAM usage on a system with 1GB RAM when I open 5-10 tabs and three addons.

I have 3GBs of RAM at that laptop, which I use generally for browsing for prolonged period of time.

TBH I don't need any addon other than adblock plus. That is the best. Maybe that is why Memory consumption doesn't trouble me. Anyway, I'll check NIGHTMARE's addons and see.

@ NIGHTMARE: Try disabling Flash got and check. FB is a heavy site so hanging with that much ram consumption is not unheard of.

Chrome isn't that light either:

I somehow don't find FF as 'resource hungry' as its made out to be..

For those having memory consumption problems, take a backup of your Firefox profile. Then delete the entire profile and uninstall the browser. Now reinstall version 6.0 and with a new profile.

On lifehacker.com, someone said the above reduced FF's RAM consumption at start to 53MB from 100+MB.

Searching someone
most addons are working fine in FF6, but I was unable to find any notable difference between this and previous versions. :)

Overall FF is pretty good imo. I mostly use Opera but I have noticed that a few websites don't render well in Opera. Haven't faced that problem in Firefox. :)

Well considering the fact that Firefox is atleast thrice as old as Chrome and Internet explorer is the Uncle of all browsers the only browser that is racing for numbers is Chrome.
