Neither Firefox or Chromium will play Flash. Chromium invariably 
displays the 'It's dead Jim@ message, FF just displays a blank space but 
at least it leaves the rest of the page intact.

Memory usage when both idle with no extensions using about:memory in 
Chromium.

Firefox  - 39804k

Chromium - 81164k
