Why would you keep a browser open for days?
Because I have no reason not to (aside from the RAM thing). Most of what I do at my computer is online.
If you turn off the PC, just close every user program.
Er... what? Turning off the PC itself sort of implies...
everything being closed.
1GB is easily 25% of your memory on an above average PC
Mine's old, so 50% for me.
I suggest closing the program once in a while.
I do. When it gets to ~1GB memory consumption.
More often than that, actually, but it happens often enough to be notable. Highest it's reached is around 1.2GB.
None.

Firefox: Most addons, easiest to customize, better than IE, but usually a bit slower. As time passes by, firefox will slow down even more. Every 1/2 year, firefox should be uninstalled then reinstalled.
Chrome: Faster than firefox and IE ONLY if you have multiple cores. Chrome runs faster because it uses multiple processes. Less customization than firefox.
Opera: Fastest of all, kind of unstable, don't really use it.
Safari: Fuckin' gay interface. I, personally, absolutely hate it. Slower than firefox, and lacks a lot of features.

Opera isn't even close to as fast as Chrome.

Why would you keep a browser open for days? If you turn off the PC, just close every user program. If Firefox is using up 1GB RAM, I don't really know if there's anything good about that. 1GB is easily 25% of your memory on an above average PC, a browser isn't really supposed to go over 256MB RAM. Unless you're doing something which has to be kept running, like a very long download or something, I suggest closing the program once in a while.
Not all of us turn off our PCs every day (me, I hibernate it with everything still loaded. ... Including my web browser and all of the tabs I have open.). If IfreFox is using up 1GB of RAM, it's not right for you. 1GB is 100% of my RAM.
<3 Chrome.
