The point is, it didn't. Tabs do not take memory space unless you actively interact with them in Firefox.

And yet since switching to firefox last year I've had more problems with FF eating memory and the browser slowing down, than I ever with Chrome. (not that I'm switching back)

Interesting Though Chrome is much less of a RAM-hopper nowadays either.

Yeah. It's pretty good in that regard. It usually hogs a bit, but it's very good at releasing it if it's needed elsewhere. FF though, not so much.
