Firefox! Even though there is a known
memory leak issue with the browser. Also, see the
standard diagnostic page.
IE simply does not offer the same functionality that Firefox does, as well the images looks like shit in IE!

The browser will of course chew up more memory of you have live pages running in the background. By live I mean pages with that damn Flash animation junk! If you simply must have the pages loaded on a tab, hit 'ESC', so to stop the connection.
Also, how many extensions are you running, and what is the "update frequency" of the extensions? (is Gmail Notifier checking every minute etc et cetera) Increasing the connection time[slash]check mail interval will help lower load.
