I found resource consumption of the Palemoon and Firefox similar to the numbers that greyowl reported.
I didn’t encounter issues, but the items mentioned by greyowl, combined with less rigorous support than found in the standard Mozilla based products are consistent with my concerns about the code support and testing in Palemoon or other browsers with similar history. The amount of testing that both SeaMonkey and Firefox enjoy are of significant importance, perhaps more than the amount of memory saved by using other alternatives.
Given this, if we want to stick with Firefox, use the most current release available when we issue our next system but or go to the somewhat more resource conservative SeaMonkey.
