    but it keeps eating memory if you keep it on for long hours. Atleast I did feel something like that.
  • I have been using firefox for years and I never had memory issues. It takes a few extra seconds to load but after that its a smooth ride.

    My internet usage often involves research, and I have to multi-task. While Firefox does use more memory than IE for 1/2 tabs, but it quickly levels off when you have say a dozen tabs.

    And I won't use IE even if it uses 10x less memory. Its insecure. Completely. Its trivial to remotely infect a PC running IE.

    By the way, they are working on some pretty cool memory management stuff for Firefox 3, some of which I find quite interesting as a developer.
  • Firefox is 10x a better browser simply because it's more secure, extensible and what not. But yes, it is a memory hog and although I'm a big fan of it even I switch to IE whenever I'm running low on memory.

    I switched to Mozilla Firefox then switched back...I guess I am an average user and I want to get the job done when I get online.

    Mozilla takes up more memory...
