For Firefox, I've made an addon which displays tab memory usage in the corresponding tab's title.
Provides user with tab related stats and memory usage ..
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tab-data/
Features
- How many tabs are currently open
- How many tabs have been opened during this Firefox session
- How many tabs have been opened since addon installed
- Display tab memory usage in title
- Preference to toggle tab memory usage on/off
- Preference to set interval between memory usage collection

You can use about:memory. But, it does not look very well organized such as Google Chrome.

Project Electrolysis has been released! Now Firefox is also multi-process.

It's easy to view memory usage per-tab in Chromium and Chrome:
Click the menu button
Select 'View Background Pages'
Voila!

Try using about:performance. It seems to give real-time data similar to Chrome's Task Manager.
The add-ons don't work in Firefox Quantum, since the add-on framework has been changed now.

Firefox 65 released on 29-01-2019 added memory usage to the task manager page found at about:performance.

Unfortunately the way that Firefox tabs are implemented, and the way that about:memory is structured, it is not trivial to determine the memory usage per-tab. about:memory is really a tool for debugging and development purposes, and since tabs are still part of the same process, you cannot get the same per-tab stats you do in Chrome/Chromium.
You won't get a better answer from your bounty, because there's nothing anyone can do about that at this time.
In the latest nightly from the Mozilla nightly PPA, this is what about:memory looks like (I've selected the section that shows you the open tabs):
As you can see it is possible to tell by the URL which tab is being referred to, but in reality there is memory being used in other aspects that cannot be illustrated accurately here because it is all one process, but many threads.

@ican: I think this is the purpose of the Electrolysis project. It will provide, in the future releases, a similar tool.

It's easy to view memory usage per-tab in Chromium and Chrome:
Click the menu button
Select 'View Background Pages'
Voila!

Try using about:performance. It seems to give real-time data similar to Chrome's Task Manager.
The add-ons don't work in Firefox Quantum, since the add-on framework has been changed now.
