I have had the same CPU experience comparing Firefox to IE. In fact, for work there is an application I use which performs work in the background while sendings updates to the browser via javascript updates to read only form elements. IE tends to take so long to render those instructions that the background process can be finished and IE will still be rendering the queue of javascript for hours with full CPU utilization. Additionally IE memory usage can get up to 130MB in the process. Firefox stays in sync with the updates rendering them very quickly, uses half the CPU and about 45MB for running the exact same process. Neither browser stays 100% responsive during this process, but Firefox handles it _better_.

Some Mac users do use my theme :) I'm glad I'm not the only one

I think I am absolutely unable to use Mozilla. I tried installing two nightly builds and the installer crashed with both of them. I tried Mozilla 1.7a and it locked up the entire system when I chose not to make it the default browser. The other choices did the same thing. Firefox crashed during the install. I tried using Firefox from a zipfile and the browser crashed each time I tried to launch it. This is madness.

Firefox is VERY fast on my system. I have tried it on Windows, and the speed improvements are impressive. Kept thinking it cannot get better...

.. Until i tried it on Linux... Blew my mind!

woahhhh!

There's nothing better then firefox. Eat my shorts M$....

This is just so great. How can't this be a blessing in disguise. A browser that works better then IE... and like janahan says it's flaws under linux.

I love these guys. There is nothing better then the Mozilla project except for mayber OpenOffice and LNX. But hey such a beautiful concert of opensource.
