Well this is basically the end point of this guild, but I'm reviving it. Why? Well because of Google Chrome, they've made themselves a great browser but so far its not the best browser, though it will easily pass IE8 because I mean, come on its IE8.
Side track. What add ons would YOU recommend using. Now lets face it, Firefox is a CPU hog, we know that, and no amount of Ram or memory will ever change it. But theres a way to change it, but I've seem to forgotten. So my question to all you members is, How would You customize your Firefox browser and make it from good, to great, to awesome.
Google Chrome is attempting to copy Firefox with its awesome spell check system, though its not working because the words are limited.

Opera, is also a unique browser, but I'd prefer Firefox, and the irony is, i'm posting from Google Chrome

I still don't feel this memory hog everyone complains about. It's never effected my computers. <.<

As much as I like Firefox, at any one point and time, it uses at least 44MB of memory. That's not bad on a computer with 4GB of RAM plus 1GB of ReadyBoost integrated on the motherboard, however it is more than it needs to be. IE is fucking horrendous and I haven't found another browser that I'm comfortable with. Until that day when I decide to change, I guess FireFox is my default browser and be the first thing I download on a new computer.

At the moment, Firefox is taking up less memory than a DreamSeeker instance I'm running. <.<

If Firefox is left on for a period of time, it starts to hog the CPU, but if you use it and close it. It won't jump on memory
