In my experience, Firefox tends to consume lots of ram, but doesn't
seem too leaky (I've managed to keep a single instance running for > 3
months at least - with hundreds of tabs open).  The second you install
flash or java plugins, however, it turns into a leaky steaming pile of
CPU cycle stealing crap.  :-/

Just my 2 cents.
