Firefox and memory....

I've noticed Firefox taking up a TON of memory(at least in comparison to my other programs). Right now, according to my Ctrl+Alt+Del, Processes tab, it's taking 52,936 K, the most of any of my programs.

Would this be due to a memory leak, my plugins(both, maybe?), or just because firefox always takes up that much?

EDIT:
I just took off like 3 extensions, and now it's only at 23,136 K. Hmm....

Firefox loves memory compared to IE, mine is anyware from 30K - 50K with no plugins.

Mine runs a good 30,000 and I only have one window with 1 tab open. FF loves my memory, but I love it enough to give him some extra now and then.

Yeah, mine is only 30K and I've got a dozen extensions and a half dozen tabs open.
