Show me a modern and widely-used web browser that's not a memory hog. (IE6 isn't modern; Chrome, Opera and Safari aren't widely used)
It's not hard to get FF 3 up to 250 or 300MB. It's better than FF 1, 1.5 and 2 though. I don't need 3GB in my machine just to run without swapping anymore - 1GB for FF < 3, 1GB for Thunderbird 1.x and 2.x, 1GB for everything else! IMO 512MB on an XP box & modern web browser is borderline unusable, especially when you consider that most anti-malware packages are resource pigs.
