Opera is clearly the superior browser …

It’s not FF, it’s Fx.

Hmmm, well hope they fix the memory and start up problem when the final release comes out.

FF is good, the plugins especially. But Opera is even better. It has had some features for years than FF has just added. Also the instant back-forward feature is excellent (and without high memory usage).

It’s easy to have FF preloaded in system memory before it starts. If you’re on winshit XP, then right click the FF shortcut, and in path add a space after the path and then paste /prefetch:1 . You have to re-launch FF twice to notice the difference.

I have same grudges against firefox as sujit. Also Opera browses faster.
The upside about ff is that it’s more customizable, but I don’t use that, so w/e.

I love the software.Just have got 2 grudges against it so far…One the time it takes to cold start.Solved tht problem by installing Firefox Preloader….and secondly the memory usage once more than 8-10 tabs are opened.
Wish FF3 final will have the answers.

I thought the high memory usage in Firefox was a feature? My rig has 2gb of ram, heck I wish I could have firefox loaded permanently in my ram.
