That's certainly not true. Yes, there is a lot of code that is common
between Mozilla mail/news and the browser, and that code is loaded even
if you're only running mail/news, but the code that is unique to the
browser is not loaded into memory unless the browser is running. It is
called "on-demand page loading" and all modern OSes support it.
