This probably doesn't help memory usage, but it does allow some (small?)
security benefits.
Or use a script blocker like NoScript or uBlock. These offer significant
security benefits and significantly reduce memory footprint.
I'm curious though, how this other user account gains access to your X
server. Allowing other
user ids to write on your screen/capture key & mouse events seem to me to
be a potential issue.
May need to use xhost to allow the second user access to the X server,
something like this:
xhost +SI:localuser:myffuser
sudo -u ffuser /usr/bin/firefox
xhost -SI:localuser:myffuser
It's not an issue on a single user box; it's the same user (human) with
a different UID.
