firefox is a 5mb download... tell me how large IE7 is.
firebird (firefox's previous name) used to be twice the size. i was surprised they were able to cut it in half. literally.
don't know much about pc's? the download has nothing to do with a program being a resource hog.
there's a list of tweaks to improve performace of firefox but i haven't bothered to try them yet. i might just try ie 7 instead
imo firefox needs to be bought by a company that can hire decent programmers (ie google)
Opera is my favorite one
http://www.opera.com/
It has all of firefox features and I think it is a lot faster. The last versions are freeware also. (3.7 MB download)

Surely you jest.
I need to run 20+ browser windows at all times, 24/6, for a forex trading / charting platform. In extensive comparisons between the 3 major browsers, on the same PC, FF was the winner for consistently smallest % CPU usage.

Why don't you run 20 tabs?

Although i cant give you a spreadsheet (yet) - I have recently been asked to do this - that shows the relative performance and compatibility of the various browsers on different platforms, my quick and dirty tests appear to show that FireFox/Mozilla is faster and leaner in most cases (and it runs on multiple OS's) . In nearly all of my tests the Firefox/Mozilla suite were very close to IE in standards compatibility (they both have their glitches here).
Why would anyone want to upgrade to IE7 if the freeware Firefox/Mozilla versions offer good or better performance and multiple platform compatibility ?
I have not been asked to do a comprehensive browser compatibility and performance test for about 4 years so the results should be very interesting .....
