A couple of plug-ins do a very nice job of seamlessly integrating the Google’s Viewer into your Firefox or Chrome browsers as plugins. Plug-in download links below:

• Firefox Add-On: Google Docs Viewer
• Chrome Extension: Google Docs Viewer

Pressing SHIFT + ESC brings up Google Chrome browser’s internal task manager showing the memory and CPU usage of individual tabs and extensions, revealing what is hogging up the memory. Not being able to figure this out was a major annoyance of Firefox as it become more and more bloated over the last couple years.
