You might also look at Opera for Linux (www.opera.com). It can
have multiple windows with individual web pages  within one
instance of the program, presumably using less ram and swap than
multiple browsers. Its fast, small and free (if you don't mind a
dancing geegaw ad in a small space in the upper right corner). If
you pay, I think, $30 you can buy your way out of that annoyance.
It's supposed to follow all of the web standards correctly instead of
trying to make it's own. Still does java and plugins too.
