Yup. Firefox is indeed junk nowadays. Chrome just wipes the floor with it in terms of speed and interface.

It does use more RAM since each tab, as someone noted above, are split into separate processes... this makes it more stable though. RAM is cheap these days though and everyone and their grandma has 2+ GB of ram.
