That's not a problem, - If you've got more than enough candy.

Firefox, It's hung up on me a few times for like a min or two. Most of my problems are with Windows Vista.

if you leave firefox up for over a day the memory will be upwards of 500,000K! easy fix is to close it then re-open but its a constant battle with it slowing my PC down.
Do you have the latest Java Run Time installed on your machine? I was having this same problem and when I installed the latest JRE version and restarted the memory chomping went down considerably.

Personally I use Firefox when I develop at work because of the plug-ins and Chrome at home because it seems just a little faster. I loathe IE. I can't tell you how many times I've written a script or style sheet that works and looks beautiful in Firefox or Chrome, but looks like it was written by a five year old in IE because IE can't be bothered to follow web coding standards.

Safe, works well and get the job done.

I also use I.E at time.

I am using firefox with the Tor browser when I wish to browse in a manner that can't be traced to me.

Such as prainking people on 4chan and such.

Yea , I use Vista/Firefox as well. Runs pretty smooth with ABP. I tried Safari w/ABP not to long ago and it didn't do to well.

This site here has some good info on Browsers, as far as the best at the time -

I did more research this evening. I find it hard to believe more of you are not using Opera. I found a review website that looked/compared the top 10 browsers, some I've never heard of. Opera had the most features using the least amount of resourses. Load speeds were at the top or near it. So, I guess I have a Saturday AM project now.
Thanks for all of the responses.
