While I like Firefox, I had to pretty much quit using it.
It seems to suffer from memory leaks, or something.
It slows to a crawl after being on a long time.
I removed most plugins and that seems to help.
The problems got worse with every upgrade.
I am now trying Google Chrome. It seems nice.
Here’s a thought to consider, I *did* notice that when I was using Task Manager to shut FF down when it froze up, that FF had literally grabbed close to a quarter of my RAM. So, perhaps it’s not FF that is hogging your memory, but one of the add-ins...Geez! Sound like a convert, don’t I? 8o)

Although I am a big firefox fan, I’ve noticed sometimes it is using almost a gig of memory. I’ll shut it down and start from scratch.
Heck, I just checked and it is using 646 meg. I then closed all my tabs except for this one and it is using 645 meg now. actually it is bouncing between 643 and 648 meg. It’s like working with windows 95. I had to reboot my computer every other day to clear my memory being reserved by memory leaks.
I may want to give chrome a try after all.
