    You appear to be too fluent in eBay shorthand. ;-)

    The problem with Firefox is that it consumes many of the computer's memory resources. Adding plugins like this one you've mentioned, stumble uppons, etc. makes everything go even slower. They really should make the software lighter.

    I might finally get my mother-in-law to switch from IE. She runs a little eBay business now that she is retired.

    I gotta say, I use firefox and I love it!.. i perfer it over IE - but i do agree that its a memory hog. I wish they would do something about that.

    just my 2 cents

    Does IE 7.0 use up memory like Firefox? I always thought that was a problem with having 27 tabs open. The data from those tabs has to be stored somewhere.

    I don't notice it on IE 7.0 to be honest with you... it doesn't seem to hog that much memory.. firefox uses up that memory even with one tab.. so i don't know what the deal is..

    ... but firefox did have an issue with memory leaks a few months back where the memory would just grow and grow.. they've fixed the issue with it growing forever, but they still have to fix the problem with it being too high :)

    .. still a terrific browser though!
