As with a lot of software, I think the existence (or lack thereof) of problem with Firefox, is system dependant. Not that those who have problems with FF don't have fine systems. It's just that for whatever reason, there are some programs that work great on some systems and blow on others. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones where FF is concerned. I've had no problems with it; resources or otherwise.
As an example, I once had a small application that added the day and date to the clock in the system tray. I believe I was running Win98 at the time. Anyway, I had used the program forever, with no problems, but when I gave a copy to a buddy of mine (also running Win98), it completely screwed his system.
At any rate, having tried a number of browsers (Netscape, Mozilla, Slimbrowser, Opera, IE, FF, and probably a couple of others) I always recommend FF. For me, it is simply the best browser out there and it's still only in development.
In light of the criticisms in this thread, I would say give FF a try and if you do have problems, well, try something else. I don't believe, however, that everyone will experience the same problems discussed here.
