Same here.  I have used Mozilla and Firefox for many years but recently Firefox has been both a memory and cpu hog.  Firefox 4.x was taxing my Macs so I switched to Chrome.  I'm not looking back.  I may use other browsers occasionally including Firefox but my main browser is now Chrome.  Now, it would be interesting to see if Firefox 5.x performs any better then 4.x.  I'll leave that to others to discuss.
