I absolutely love Firefox.. However, I am generally in Linux and it doesn't seem that bad on my memory with that client, and in windows, I typically am only browsing the web if I have it open so I am not hurting for memory..
although, for the laptop, this might be a good switch, since the ram is a huge issue there (max 386mb... so ram is precious...my precious).. thanks for the link
and i agree with the previous post about any move away from the current big dog is a good idea in my opinion. Having everyone using one browser causes some web pages to target that one and then the other 10% that use something different just get screwed..
make webpages Lynx friendly!! *grin*
