FF 15 does not crash. Not for me, it doesn't. (Though the
current iteration of Thunderbird crashes at least once at
the beginning of every session.) But earlier versions of
Firefox did. And sometimes, for some weird reason, Firefox
takes up system resources in a way that System Monitor
(ksysguard from KDE) does not catch or report. So I have to
take Firefox down and bring it back up just to get through
the night's e-mail.
I'm looking forward to an official Google Chrome package for
Fedora. All I knew is that the Chrome pack I got was the
worst-behaved application I ever tried to work with. But
that was when I was still slogging with F14 long past its
EOL
Will you provide Google Chrome for x86_64? I have found that
x86_64 is the best way I know to keep this Pentium Dual Core
machine running at a reasonable speed.

As said, by installing the Chrome rpm you install the repo too (I use the i686 version).
In Firefox if you go to about:memory you'll have options to minimize memory usage.
