Is it normal FF (developer edition) is consuming more than 2Gb of RAM (with only one tab opened)?

Firefox consumes almost 2Gb of RAM with only one tab open. I find this surprising, and it's a major performance issue for me.

Do you have an explanation or solutions to reduce this memory overconsumption?
