Is this normal for memory usage? lol
Firefox is barely better and worse with respect to CPU usage. Although I see different cases from computer to computer.

Firefox takes up around 24-28k memory and 0-8 CPU on my XP system. Internet Explorer takes up about the same.

We obviously use our browsers in a way fashion :P

In my case, gecko based browsers take a few MB and 0% cpu. I bet you had a shitload of tabs open at the moment you took that screenshot of your task manager. If not, then it is abnormal.

Maybe a dozen or so tabs. The problems with these browsers is that even after you close a tab it doesn't clean up the memory properly. I hardly restart my browsers, so after a while they start taking up quite a bit of memory. Though I've never seen it that high!
-
About 25 streamed videos (10-30 minutes length) in tabs + a few hundred other tabs was what I needed to get 1GB memory usage from my browser. The operating system is windows 2000 sp4.

Keep using that browser instance for 2 weeks and take another screenshot.
-
The instance is 8 days old. (I am not watching that much streamed video)
But.. is this browser related or operating system related? I use the same browser on linux/unix and had a browser instance running for a few months. With 512MB ram and no swap space.

Probably a combination of both. I haven't tried Seamonkey at all? Is it just a modified version of Mozilla? How is it modified?
-
When looking at performance, I bet there is not much difference between all the gecko-engine based browsers.
I use seamonkey cause it has better security and recent updates. http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html#Mozilla
Other differences between them are hard to point out, that seamonkey looks and feels like mozilla is the very reason why I use it.

SeaMonkey? Isn't that one of those all-in-one software deals? You know, like Creative Suite by Adobe is.
