I'm going to sit on the fence about this and just say whats on my mind. It isnt a big deal after all.
Slimbrowser is just a wrapper for the main IE object so whatever IE doesnt support in the way of w3c standards, slimbrowser isnt going to support either. For example, after just 30 seconds of using slimbrowser i found it doesnt support the "border-spacing" standard CSS property just like IE. Chances are, slimbrowser probably has any vulnerabilities that IE has too. I guess time will tell. I wont be using this post as a soap box for my opinions of MS's lazy and bratish approach web standards.
Firefox has only been in development for about 2 years, its already matured enough to be compared with IE and its likely going to lose all of the negative issues that you nice people are talking about in future versions. Its only on version 0.9.x at the moment after all. What i'm saying is, dont lock it out of your minds totally just because you're having trouble with the current version.
As firefox stands at the moment in its current version, yes i believe it has a few faults and yes it needs a smaller memory footprint and yes the download manager is a bit pointless. However, i'm sticking with it because it sticks to the standards and is the best browser for my personal needs.
