The arrangement of each tab as a separate process in the Chrome browser costs more memory. For example, with the same other software processes and programs running on the side, a logged in iGoogle page and 5 other regular web pages, 6 tabs in total, consume roughly 1242M on my Windows XP machine.
By contrast, each tab in Firefox is just a distinct thread in the big Firefox process. In Firefox, 6 logged in iGoogle pages, whose total memory consumption should be around 1242M as presented above, with the same other processes and programs running. However, the actual total memory cost is just 875M.
