It has multiple processes sure, but there's some good reasons for that. It's not really an issue if you have a half decent computer.
It's crap when they all freeze and you have to close them one by one in the task manager. Also not so nice when you want to know how much memory the whole of chrome is taking.
About a year or so ago, the guys at mozilla made a plugin container process where supposedly all the plugins run and, if one crashes, the browser, running on another thread, survives. It does work, generally speaking....
Now, firefox's biggest problem is memory leaks. I can start a session taking some 600MB of ram. after I visit a few (ok, lots of open and close tabs reading forum posts and answering them and whatnot) pages, I'll take a peek at the memory usage, and it's grown to 1.2 or 1.5GB. The overall number of open tabs remains the same, but memory usage doubles... That's usually when I restart firefox.
