is google trying to kill firefox?

this may seem as a far fetched thought, but could be true. FireFox last week updated to 3.0.3 version and right after that its been taking way too much memory and crashing at times. As a result i have switched to Chrome. I am sure FireFox will come with a fix in 3.0.4 version but some users would have moved to Chrome already. Since Firefox is open source, and google does write a bunch of its code, this could be a subtle move to get some adoption.. Don't be Evil? not sure anymore.
