   I concur that both firefox and TB can be memory pigs. Firefox has had
mem leaks forever ... I gave up a long time ago and switched to google
chrome (firefox 4 has caught up speed-wise finally but I still prefer
chrome)

   That aside - for TB please make sure you check a couple of configs.

  (1) turn of GLODA it is an IO pig with a terrible design, which can
kill your machine as well.

  Prefs->Advanced -> General

   make sure the Enable Global Search and Destroy thing is unchecked.

   (2) Also by default, TB caches local copies of everything - you may
want to play with those settings (offline usage).
