Firefox runs in 3GB, so it leaves 1GB for the kernel and uses 3GB for itself.



Only if you enable the 3GB switch for Windows. Or on 64-bit Windows where FF gets 4 GiB, then.


32-bit Windows (with the 2GB limit) couldn't run the 64-bit Firefox in any case, so in the context of this discussion the 32-bit build is always getting 4GB of address space.
